On Sept. 18, Senator Kevin Ranker had an opportunity to tour the construction at the high school with the ASB representatives. He also spent a few minutes with the students, talking about their upcoming activities and his high school experiences.

Last spring, Ranker, D-Orcas, secured a million dollars in capital funds for Orcas public school. The majority of those funds are going to replace the failed siding on the high school as well as new windows.  Ranker examined the new weather barrier being applied under the siding that help not only protect sheathing underneath, but will make the envelope of the building more energy efficient.
