Summer is the season for school capital improvements projects, and the Ann Arbor Public Schools Board of Education last week approved the first of its scheduled improvements for when school lets out.
Parking lots at Huron High School will be repaved this summer.

The 14 schools set to receive new pavement in their parking lots or on their athletic courts are:
- Ann Arbor Technological High School, Huron High School and the Roberto Clemente Student Development Center
- Forsythe, Scarlett, Slauson and Tappan middle schools
- Allen, Bryant, Dicken, Haisley, Northside and Wines elementary schools
- Ann Arbor Preschool and Family Center
Most are parking lot projects, however, Tappan's tennis courts will be redone.
School officials put out a request for proposals for the paving projects and received bids from seven companies. Contract awards were given to the lowest, qualified bidders, Best Asphalt of Romulus, in the amount of $377,535, and Quality Asphalt of Howell, in the amount of $60,208.
Another summer project will be replacing the exterior doors at 12 schools.
