What a great time to be a Burton Panther!!!
Welcome to the Burton Independent School District weekly update. Bond Project information will be shared as it pertains to the planning and construction of our new facilities.
Come join us as we kick off the month of May with all of our end of school year functions!
Construction Job Superintendent Rob Ogletree and Project Manager Stad Tomlinson with DSA Construction Management report that March and April were very busy on site with Chemical Injections, Underground Electrical, Storm Drainage and Site Work all happening at the same time and on top of each other. Chemical injections were completed on the track and field area in less than three weeks and passed every test required to meet the specifications from Reliance Engineering.
The Structural Steel order has been executed and submitted to Cikis Steel whose representatives have met with DSA on site to verify shop drawings being created and ready for review in the upcoming weeks. Steel should be ready to move into production. All steel is not being ordered and delivered at the same time but rather in stages so as not to overwhelm the site with material that will not be needed until later in the project. This cuts production time down and allows less opportunity for extra material to be damaged by elements in the atmosphere.
The rain continues to cause delays in the construction schedule that cannot be avoided. However, contractors are ready to move in as soon as the job site is adequately dried up.
Burton ISD appreciates everyone’s effort to collaborate on this project to keep moving forward. Email any questions to bondinfo@stu.burtonisd.net.
Please feel free to come visit Burton Independent School District and thank you in advance for taking time to find out more about our schools, our professional staff, our exemplary students, and our excellent academic programs. Burton Schools are a perfect place to get an education that will prepare your child for a bright future.
There is a tremendous amount of community support that goes into the success of our programs in Burton ISD. We appreciate everyone who helps make a positive impact on our schools. All of us working cooperatively make Burton ISD better together. So proud to be a BURTON PANTHER!
Lots of great things are going on this school year. Follow all of our activities on the Burton ISD website @ www.burtonisd.net, check out the Burton ISD app, and keep up with the latest happenings on the Burton ISD Facebook page and other social media venues.
The pride of the Burton Panthers is embedded in all of us whether we are a student, an alumni, a community member, a staff member and employee, a parent, board member and/or a proud supporter and in many cases all of the above. We love our Panthers and like to think that the culture we are providing in educating our students is a reason why parents want their children to attend Burton ISD. We value our school district and always put students first. For the 2022-2023 school year, Learning is Our Superpower as we are Building Our Future!!! Have a blessed day! GO BIG RED!!!
