Claude
Thompson Elementary School
In March
2003, the Board of Supervisors approved the School Division’s
request for $3,144,000 to renovate Claude Thompson Elementary
School. Based on a request from the School Division, an
additional $3,650,000 was approved in December 2004. On July 8,
2005, the construction bid for the project was opened and it is
estimated that the total cost of the project could now cost
$9,966,000, an increase of $3,172,000.
Liberty High
School HVAC
A portion of
the proceeds will be used for Liberty High School Heating,
Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC). In June 2004, the
Board of Supervisors approved $4,000,000 in additional funding
for the Liberty HVAC project to improve air quality at that
facility. Previously $769,996 had been appropriated for this
project. Earlier this month, bids were opened for upgrading the
HVAC system and they reflected the recent escalating costs of
all types of construction and renovation. To fund the HVAC
alternative plan initially requested by the School Division will
now require an additional $2,100,000. The total cost of the
project would be $6,869,996.
Cedar Lee
Middle School
The
construction of a new library, and renovation of the existing
library into classrooms at Cedar Lee Middle School was approved
as part of the FY 2006 Budget at a total cost of $2,720,000.
