The BRPS Facilities & Grounds Department was recognized at last night's Board Meeting for their efforts and dedication in preparing for the 2023-24 school year. Director, Brian Akey, acknowledged the administration and the Board for providing the department with the much-needed additional resources required to complete all the building upgrades. The existing staff led the charge with the assistance of some district para-pros, teachers, and food service workers. Together, the team was able to accomplish the upgrades and repairs on all school buildings, including an additional building for the 2023-24 year, Eastwood Elementary. Mr. Akey commended the team for coming together and for all they accomplished. Additionally, he made a point to recognize that each team member took great pride in their work and that it shows in the details of each building that were not overlooked. We are proud of our Facilities and Grounds team! Your Cardinal Pride shines through!!
