Plant operator facilitates ‘massive’ building renovation
Rogelio Medrano
This week’s Shout Out goes to Rogelio Medrano, a plant operator at the Eastwood Academy, for his support of on-going construction projects.
“Our school has undergone a massive building renovation,” said Instructional Specialist Brandi Lira, “which spanned a full school year. In order to keep up with the demands posed by this major project, Mr. Medrano and his custodial team came in early and left very late in the evening to ensure that temporary buildings were cleared out before their removal. Often, classrooms would need to be cleared with only a few hours’ notice, but Mr. Medrano was always eager to assist, frequently coming to the school during his off time. He also coordinated the communication between Gamma Construction, furniture delivery, locksmiths, and school staff. Mr. Medrano led his team diligently in order to effectively see this major renovation through. He never complains and often volunteers to address concerns that need to be handled. Ms. Fendley thanks him often and we are so very grateful for Mr. Medrano and his team; we would truly be lost without him.”
