Working on the floors
A number of floors at the Staples-Motley High School have gotten some attention this summer. Pictured at top, custodians Travis Benson (center) and Jim Rollins (right) mop and wax one of the hallways, while Lynn VanderWeyst looks on in the background. Below is one of the hallways in the district office that has been resurfaced with vinyl chips and epoxy. The former 12x12 vinyl tiles (which contained some asbestos) were removed prior to being replaced with the new surface. Approximately 5,000 sq. ft. needed to be replaced. The new finish is a hard surface and will not need to be waxed like the former tiles. “It’s a win-win situation,” said LeRoy Peterson, Building and Grounds Director at the school.
