Sampson County Schools will be seeking just over $3 million in capital outlay money from commissioners for the 2013-14 school year, with the funds designated for such things as roofing needs, increased school safety and general maintenance items, that everything from repaving to enclosing a multi-purpose room.

Although it may seem early to be thinking of the next fiscal budget, for Sampson Countys Board of Education it is not. So during its regular meeting Monday night, superintendent, Dr. Ethan Lenker presented the 2013-14 capital outlay requests to board members who, in turn, gave the green light to move the request on to commissioners.

In his presentation, Lenker said that in order for the commissioners to have adequate time to consider their request prior to budget talks, it was important for the boards requests to be sent in a timely manner.

The superintendent explained that there were three areas that the board had discussed at their retreat and he presented each area for their consideration.

The first area was general capital outlay, which includes items for individual schools, such as enclosing a multi-purpose area for the fourth and fifth grade at Clement Elementary; drainage catch basins; additional exterior lighting and re-paving of the staff parking lot at Hargrove; additional lighting and playground fencing at Hobbton Elementary; additional restroom for the seventh grade at Hobbton Middle and HVAC replacement; HVAC replacement and construction of restroom/locker room facility at Hobbton High; replacement of media floor covering and paving student parking lot at Lakewood; additional fencing for playground at Midway Elementary; installing baseball/softball bleachers, additional fencing, soccer field grading, digital marque, additional athletic field paving, risers for band room at Midway High; additional bus rider canopy and upgrade of playground equipment at Plain View.

At Roseboro Elementary projects requested for funding included a shelter for playground, water fountains for playground and paving for new basketball court; replace computer labs floor coverings at Roseboro-Salemburg Middle; an additional storage building at Salemburg. For Union Elementary, upgrade playground equipment area, upgrade fire panel equipment, HVAC replacements; Union Middle needs included HVAC replacements and home side athletic bleachers. Improvements for the district include mobile classrooms and associated cost, replacement of two vehicles, fire alarm systems upgrades, replacement blinds and furniture, asbestos removal and HVAC replacements.

The total cost of this portion of the capital outlay request is $1,181,500.

Lenker said in the light of recent developments dealing with school security, a need to address safety in the county schools was included in the second area for capital outlay security.

Winbot Window Cleaning Robot CES 2013
Published on Jan 31, 2013 How It Works The Winbot uses suction (in fact, it sounds like a powerful vacuum) to hold itself onto your windows. You plug it in and give it a base charge, but in addition, you run it plugged in to a socket. The internal battery is only there in case the power goes out -- so it won #39;t lose suction while an alarm alerts you to the power outage. There is a cleaning pad on the front, a squeegee in the center, and a drying pad on the back. You spray cleaning fluid on the front pad; they provide their own brand and strongly advise it over traditional cleaning fluids, which may have ammonia and which they say could damage the Winbot. Once the pads are dirty, you remove them (they affix with Velcro) and toss them in the washing machine. The Winbot glides along the window, and when it bumps the frame, it turns itself around and edges up the window to eventually go back in the other direction, systematically cleaning in a series of horizontal lines. The higher end model also works on frameless surfaces like mirrors. But How Well Does It Clean? The Winbot did a good job cleaning the inside of my living room windows. It easily handled my kids fingerprints, spots, and general dirt. Outside it did an equally good job, but I did notice later that on a 5 #39; X 6 #39; window, it left two horizontal streaks the width of the window. The company says we probably had too much cleaning solution on the pad. They also suggested using the remote control to go back over any ...
