MARSHALL — The Marshall C.U.S.D. C-2 Board of Education on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026, received a facilities report identifying a new roof problem at the junior high school even as the superintendent reported progress on summer maintenance projects and on humidity and mold issues raised a month earlier.

Superintendent Ross praised the custodial and maintenance staff for their hard work over the summer, according to the minutes. He reported positive progress in dealing with the summer humidity and mold issues mentioned in July. The minutes do not say which buildings were affected, what remediation was performed, or what the work cost.

Ross reported that updates to the resource building are done with the exception of an additional door and some drainage work on the parking lot side of the building. He also reported that an ADA pathway was added on the visitor side of Bush Field. Pathways built to Americans with Disabilities Act standards generally must meet requirements for width, slope and surface, though the minutes state no specifications for the Bush Field work and no cost.

The new item on the list is at the junior high. Ross reported that MJHS roofs over the entryways to the newer wing are leaking and will need repair. The record contains no estimate, no scope, no contractor and no indication of when the board might be asked to act. The agenda listed “Buildings and Grounds” as a standing report item, and no motion or vote on roof repairs appears in the minutes.

Principals also commented on enrollments at their respective buildings, and all present shared excitement about the upcoming school year, according to the minutes. No enrollment figures are recorded for any building.

The facilities report came at the same meeting at which the board approved four bid amounts totaling $409,500 for audio, lighting, curtain and electrical upgrades at the MJHS Forsythe Performing Arts Center, and at which Ross presented a draft FY 2027 budget projecting an $845,478.12 gap between anticipated revenue and expenditures across all funds. The record does not state how the roof repairs would be funded or whether they are contemplated in the draft budget.

Because the district’s August materials consist only of an agenda and minutes, with no supporting packet, no buildings-and-grounds report document, work order log, or maintenance cost summary is available to the public alongside the minutes.
