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.
Construction Job Superintendent Rob Ogletree and Project Manager Stad Tomlinson with DSA Construction Management report April was a very wet month across the state but seemed especially wet on the jobsite with over 35 consecutive rain/mud days, 23 of those days being in April alone. When it wasn’t raining, the utility contractor was able to install the 12” storm drainage pipe into the football field area. They were able to get pipes in the ground in two days before the rain started again.
Hellas Construction has been on site checking the status of the field and are very aware of the rain delays. They have been ordering material and making sure everything is delivered as needed.
There was a small window of no rain the first week of May and it allowed Circle H to roll the site and test on the 4th. All tests passed moisture and density and we were approved to move forward with the second lift. The next day, May 5th, the rain returned and shut everything down again. Circle H did receive the rest of the material for storm drainage and has it staged on site. Burton ISD appreciates everyone’s effort to collaborate on this project to keep moving forward. Email any questions to bondinfo@stu.burtonisd.net.

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!!!
