THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The state has revoked the grandfathered status of the Colby Middle School elevator, triggering a required inspection by KONE and potential condemnation to freight-only use. The district is exploring stair lifts for a student and has very preliminary estimates of $2 million to fully replace the elevator. This sets up a significant accessibility and capital upgrade project where design, funding, and delivery strategy are not yet decided.
Inspection by KONE is being scheduled to comply with state requirements; outcomes will drive scope for replacement or major modernization and accessibility accommodations.
