CANTON — Canton Central School needs to replace a hot water boiler before students can return to in-person learning.
“It did go out on us beyond repair,” CCS Superintendent Ron Burke said.
He said that appliances have been harder to find over the last year, noting that the new boiler would make a four to five day trip from Tennessee before being installed.
The Board approved the payment of up to $15,000 from general funds to Northern Mechanicals for the new boiler. The replacement boiler will be the same type of unit.
Burke said the boiler was initially part of the latest capital project, like the leak in a water main near the bus loop in November.
The boiler that needs replacement is located at the high school. Without this boiler, the school is not able to provide safe food preparation for students throughout the district and are also unable to provide hot water at restrooms throughout the HS.
Burke said he hopes students will return to in-person learning following the long weekend of Jan. 16-18 that will celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
