Bond program

This bond ensures students have the opportunity to learn in a safe, up-to-date environment, and preserve school facilities as long term assets.

Dayton is a growing community that values a strong educational system with a rural sense of caring and teamwork, and therefore has been supportive of their schools which have an enrollment of about 1,015 students. The buildings were built in 1936, 1950, 1969, and 2010. Bonds approved for infrastructure improvements in 1999 and 2009 increased capacity, which improved the educational offerings.

While District staff prioritize maintaining current facilities so that they are safe and productive learning environments, many structures are in need of significant repairs and maintenance that cannot be accomplished within the regular operating budget. The District will use the bond funds and grants to finance basic large-scale repairs, remove safety hazards, and make schools more energy efficient which will reduce facility operating expenses and allow more funds to be spent on education.

Dayton High School - Gym — Telescopic Bleacher Seating | This summer, Dayton School District’s Bond Program plans include replacing the existing bleachers at Dayton High School with new automatic | telescoping bleachers. Telescopic Bleacher Seating, retractable bleachers combine all the advantages of cost and space saving with the flexibility of being able to fold them up and down and move them quickly and easily. This is apart of the district’s promise for a safer, more functional school environment for all students and the community.

June | Snyder Roofing of Oregon LLC met with HMK and roofing consultant, A-Tech Northwest at the Junior High School for the pre-construction meeting. On June 09, 2020 Snyder will begin removal of the existing roof and replace with a new 60 mil reflective grey PVC membrane; which will allow for increased energy efficiency and longevity due to its high reflectivity. The high reflectivity is important for the roofing, because UV damage is a significant portion of the wear that causes roofs to degrade and end up needing to be replaced. The roof will also have a 20 year warranty.

July | Following A-Tech/Northwest, Inc.’s drawings and Specifications, Snyder Roofing of Oregon LLC has begun tear-off and re-roofing at Dayton Junior High. Roofers are laying down vapor barrier after removing the existing roofing from the lower covered walkway. The final system, will consist of insulation, cover board, and a gray 60 mil PVC membrane; this upgraded system will come with a 20 year NDL (Non-Diminishing Limit) warranty, from Carlisle SynTec Systems. The warranty protects the community’s investment for 20 years.

July | Snyder roofing is continuing to reroof the Dayton Junior High & Dayton High School, with new 60 mil PVC roofing. Roofers are preparing adhesive, so they can glue the membrane down onto the coverboard. Roofers are tied off for safety, while working near the 6 foot safety perimeter set up around the roof.

July | The Dayton High School bleachers are currently being removed by Norpac Seating. The new bleachers, by Hussey Seating, will proudly sport the Dayton Pirate’s logo when they are closed. When the bleachers are open, they will provide ADA accessible seating to the students and community attending athletic events in the gym. The bleachers will also be electronically controlled, which will allow for ease of use by teachers and staff during events. The existing bleachers, which were constructed with vertical grain fir planks, are will be salvaged and repurposed by the district.

August | In the Dayton High school gym, Nor-Pac Seating is working on installing the new Hussey Seating Company bleachers. The new bleachers have a plywood walkway between each row, as well as ADA accessible seats. In the pictures, Nor-Pac Seating has installed the walkways and stairs to the top of the bleachers, and is working on installing each individual seat. Since the bleachers are mid-install, the Dayton Pirates logo isn’t visible in its entirety quite yet! We can’t wait to show you the completed project soon!
