PUD 3 providing-Wi-Fi at
27 sites inmcounty for students
Biases; weeks

Mason PUD 3 is establishing the
last of 27 Wi-Fi hotspots in the county
so students without internet access at
home, can download remote learning
materials.
The hot spots, which are marked
with orange signs that read “Free
Wifi,” include the Tahuya peninsula,
Bayshore Preserve and Schafer State
Park, said Justin Holzgrove, Mason
County PUD 3’s director of engineer-
ing and utilities service. One is in the
parking lot at Shelton High School,
. and Wi-Fi hotspots will be established
at Evergreen and Bordeaux elemen-
tary schools, Holzgrove said. All the
SCHOOL BRIEFS
Board tackles puddles
in SHS parking lot.
For four decades, Shelton High
School students during rainy times
have walked through two large pud-
dles in the school’s parking lot, one in
front of the Mini-Dome and one in, a
bus lane.
As part of the building bond proj-
ects passed by voters in February
2017, the Shelton School District re—
designed and repaved the parking lot
—— yet the puddles remained. A few
months ago, Shelton School District
Superintendent Alex Apostle asked
project manager Jeff Feeney and
Robert Herron, the district’s director
of facilities and maintenance, to look
into the problem.
At the Shelton School Board meet-
ing July 28, Feeney told the board
the grade of the parking lot was not
changed when it was resurfaced.
Changing the grade “significantly” —
2.5% will allow the water in front
of the Mini—Dome to drain into a dry-
well, he said.
Repatching on the bus lane will
eliminate that puddle, Herron said.
Both puddles can be eliminated
for about $50,000, with the work be-
services are free.
At the Shelton School Board meet-
ing July 28, Holzgrove told the board
the Wi—Fi hotspots had so far received
4,000 unique users since being estab—
lished in late April and early May. EV-
ergreen Square in downtown Shelton,
the Matlock Grange and Hood Canal
School have‘been used the most, he
said.
, From 4 to 7 pm. is the peak time of
us, and the average time spent down-
loading information is six minutes,
'Holzgrove said.
The transmission range is about
300 feet, he said.
The Wi-Fi hotspots are “not a long-
terin,” Holzgrove said. The goal is “af-
fordable fiber to every home.”
ing done by the crew already on site
working on new athletic facilities and
from funds already available in the
construction budget, Feeney said.
The work will probably be com- ‘
pleted by the third week of August, ”
Herron said.
Apostle said it is unfortunate the
puddle problem was not caught when
the parking lot was redesigned and
repaved.
Board member Sally Karr said the
puddles have formed since the cam-
pus was constructed.
“That one in front of the Mini-
Dome has been there since I was
there,” said board member Keri Da-
vidson.
