Campbell County Schools are making significant strides in their ongoing renovation project at Kimbell County Middle School, as reported during the Board Meeting on February 20, 2024. The meeting highlighted the progress of various construction efforts, with expectations that all work will be completed before the start of the new school year.
Key updates included the installation of new doors, with a few still pending delivery, and the completion of electrical work and sprinkler installations in the office areas. The installation of flooring in common areas is also on track, with the office area already finished. Notably, a change order for boiler fluid installation was discussed, which is a code requirement and will involve additional restoration work on the chimney.
The project manager expressed confidence that the renovations would be completed during the summer break, barring any unforeseen delays. The timeline for window installations has been set, with materials expected to arrive by April 19. The team is coordinating with school officials to ensure a smooth installation process.
In addition to the renovation updates, the meeting covered various reports, including those from the Family Resource Youth Service Center and pupil personnel services. The board also reviewed contingency funds, which remain healthy at approximately $282,000 after accounting for recent change orders.
As the renovation progresses, the community can look forward to enhanced facilities that will support the educational environment for students at Kimbell County Middle School. The board's proactive approach and clear communication about the project timeline reflect a commitment to transparency and accountability in improving local educational infrastructure.
