TOWNSHEND â Air system work, which caused delayed returns to in-person instruction at schools in the West River Education District, is wrapping up.
âWest River is about 90 percent complete from the original project scope that we started with about four months ago,â Chris Medina, director of operations at Windham Central Supervisory Union, said at the West River Education District board meeting held remotely Dec. 21.
Medina said during a project meeting with Alliance Mechanical about a week prior to the board meeting, he learned about eight members of a service installation team were under quarantine for COVID-19 or sick at the time. A deadline extension for the project was approved by Efficiency Vermont so the district would still be eligible for grant funding.
