The meeting also addressed the Rockbridge County High School Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which remains updated with no significant changes for the current year. A key project includes the replacement of Canadian bleachers at a cost of $265,000, with the local share estimated at over $40,000. Looking ahead, several projects are planned for FY 27, including tennis court expansions and improvements to various athletic facilities, with an estimated total cost of approximately $1.8 million.
Financial updates revealed a tight budget for FY 24, with unexpected expenses leading to a surplus of about $35,000. However, a portion of this surplus has already been allocated to cover lighting replacements at the middle school, leaving a minimal remaining balance.
On the technology front, the district is transitioning to a more efficient Chromebook system for students in grades 2 through 8, while maintaining classroom sets for younger grades. The technology team is focused on maximizing device longevity and minimizing damage, with a replacement cycle that ensures devices are updated regularly without excessive costs.
Overall, the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts to secure funding for educational improvements and maintain a sustainable budget amidst financial challenges.
