LISBON — The School Committee on Monday night heard about a five-year capital improvement plan that includes additional security cameras, a new boiler and a new kitchen.

Director of Transportation and Operations Allen Ouellette said improvements are being paid for from savings in energy costs.

All playgrounds are being upgraded, Ouellette said. Additional security cameras are being installed at all of the schools.

Improvements have been made to the kitchen at the Central Office and continued upgrades are a priority so meals can be prepared on site rather than being brought in, he said.

The water filtration system is working at Lisbon Community School, Ouellette said.

A priority at the school is replacing the carpets, he said.

“The carpets didn’t work out?” School Committee member Peter Reed asked.

Ouellette said they didn’t; they’ve been replaced with tile in two classrooms so far.

At Philip W. Sugg Middle School the univents have been installed and a heat recovery generator was replaced as part of the second phase of the performance contract, Ouellette said.

The priority at Lisbon High School is replacing the 20-year-old boiler. The old gym will be converted to a performing arts center, and the new gym is being outfitted to serve as an emergency shelter for the community.

Ouellette told the committee it’s nice to see the new trip bus coming down the street.

“It puts a smile on your face,” he said. The bus will be used 95 percent for field trips; however, his drivers sometimes use it to drop kids off for training.

The softball field has been lined up correctly, Ouellette said. A priority will be organizing and cleaning up behind the soccer fields. Another priority for the fields is creating access to the trail system being developed by the Parks and Recreation Department, he said.

“If we can get all this work done and do it through energy savings, now is the time to do it,” Superintendent Richard Green said. Some of the capital improvements might have to go to referendum if the costs surpass the amount allowed under the town’s charter, he said.
