Exciting Improvements Coming This Summer!

The East Troy Community School District is thrilled to announce that Phase 1 of our capital referendum projects is set to begin! Thanks to your support, we are moving forward with critical infrastructure upgrades at Prairie View and the Middle School. Here’s what to expect during the first phase, scheduled from June – August 2025.

Prairie View Elementary School

Secure Entry:

• A fully enclosed and safety-rated entryway to enhance security.
• A new service window and a secondary access point for controlled visitor entry.
• Updated aesthetics including a new entry logo mat, solid surface visitor service counter, and a possible new paint scheme.

Windows:

• Replacement of original, aging windows with new, energy-efficient, and safety-enhanced designs.
• Features include thermally insulated glass, improved visibility, and industry-standard materials to reduce heat and cold loss.

Roof Replacement:

• Removal of the outdated built-up roofing system.
• Inspection and repair of insulation layers.
• Installation of a 60-mil EPDM membrane, increasing the building’s thermal efficiency significantly.

Gym Wall Repair:

• Resolving long-standing water infiltration issues.
• Installation of a modular metal wall system with a proper vapor barrier to prevent moisture issues.

Chiller Replacement:

• New, energy-efficient chiller with improved control capabilities.
• Uses updated refrigerant and enhances cost-effectiveness.
   

East Troy Middle School

Roof Replacement:

• Similar to Prairie View, the Middle School’s aging roof system will be replaced with a high-efficiency EPDM membrane.
• Expected to last up to 30 years with a manufacturer warranty.

Site Work & Traffic Flow Improvements:

• A newly designed traffic pattern to enhance safety for students, parents, and staff.
• Separate entrances for buses and parents.
• Extended student drop-off sidewalks and improved pedestrian access.
• Ongoing consultation with stakeholders to finalize the best design.
   

Next Steps

The School Board will review and approve contractor bids on March 17, 2025. Once approved, work will begin immediately after school concludes for the summer.

We are excited about these much-needed improvements and appreciate the community’s support in making them possible! For more information, view the February 17th board presentation >
