SUMMER REPAIRS ON SCHEDULE
CCISD Campuses Ready for Students
Clear Creek ISD students are headed back to school on Monday, August 27, 2012. When they arrive at their schools they will find CCISD maintenance and facility services employees have been hard at work all summer making sure repairs are completed in time for the first day of school.
“We must ensure our schools are safe and effective learning environments for students,” explained Superintendent of Schools, Greg Smith, Ph. D., “Maintaining aging facilities continues to put a strain on our budget, the CCISD Board of Trustees will establish a citizens committee in the fall to review needs and make recommendations for future facility needs.”
The repairs underway or completed in CCISD by Facility Services cost a total of $2,914,459 including the following projects listed by campus:
- Armand Bayou Elementary School - Foundation repairs ($99,500)
- Clear Creek High School - Replace Library HVAC and Replace Swimming Pool Piping ($344,824)
- Clear Lake Intermediate – Replace Domestic Plumbing Pipe Campus-wide and Kitchen Sanitary Sewer Lines ($90,720)

CCISD Maintenance and Operations tackled projects at all 43 schools totaling $2,455,600. Teams of custodians cleaned every campus, stripping and refinishing floors, work crews replaced lighting when necessary, upgraded and replaced fire alarm panels and smoke detectors at 16 campuses, renewed Kiddie Kushion to all district playground fall zones (26 Elementary Schools), and performed chiller and central plant maintenance and repairs on 16 chillers, cooling tower repair and replacement to 52 towers, retrofit and replaced 500 user controlled thermostats to fixed set point thermostats and replaced A/C units at four campuses.
Over the summer the Child Nutrition Department replaced serving lines at fourteen elementary schools. Each new serving line replaces the original serving line installed when the school was constructed. The years of service on these lines range from 20 years to more than 40 years. The schools and the cost for each serving line are listed below:
Armand Bayou Elementary Bay Elementary
Brookwood Elementary Clear Lake City Elementary
Ferguson Elementary Greene Elementary
Hall Elementary Landolt Elementary

The Clear Lake High School walk-in freezer was replaced because foundation issues had damaged the original unit beyond repair. Total cost of this project was $128,556. The total for all summer repairs and maintenance in Clear Creek ISD came to $6.4 million.
