The administrators, teachers, students, and board approved these projects before beginning. They took into consideration the cost and the bid. The bid that has the lowest price and fulfills the needs of the district receives the contract. One of largest and most costly projects constructed was the new auditorium. The auditorium was contaminated with asbestos.
Asbestos is released naturally through weathering and erosion.
Many older buildings, schools, and homes still have asbestos containing products that must be removed. According to the high school principal Robert Lombardo, the auditorium is used frequently by the community, and the school uses it for concerts, plays, and meetings. So contractors put in new flooring, lighting, seating, a new sound system, and painted the walls. Another major project were the new lockers throughout the halls and in the locker rooms of the high school. The Penco Construction Company put in the new lockers in the halls and locker rooms.
