The Campbell County Schools Board convened on May 20, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including the establishment of a Local Planning Committee (LPC), approval of bid documents for a new wastewater treatment plant, a copier lease agreement, and facility changes at various schools.

The meeting began with a discussion on the LPC, which serves as an advisory body to the local board of education. The LPC is responsible for developing a four-year District Facility Plan (DFP) through a comprehensive evaluation of school facilities. The district received two letters of interest for architect and engineer services, ultimately recommending Robert Emmett Hayes and Associates. The LPC comprises 20 members, including parents, teachers, and community leaders. The board approved the recommended business community leader representatives and architect services unanimously.

Next, the board reviewed bid documents for the wastewater treatment plant at the new Grama Slick Elementary School. The documents, designed by GRW Engineers Incorporated, were deemed essential for moving forward with the project. The board expressed satisfaction with the progress and approved the bid documents without any objections.

The agenda then shifted to the copier lease agreement, as the current lease is set to expire on June 30. The proposed agreement with ProSource includes a five-year lease for 32 new copiers and a print management software program called PaperCut. The board approved the lease agreement, ensuring the district's printing needs are met efficiently.

The final item discussed was a request for changes to facilities at three schools: Riley Elementary, McCormick Center, and Grama Slick Elementary. The proposed changes included removing a wall at Riley to create a larger classroom, demolishing an old storage building at McCormick, and repurposing a room at Grama Slick for preschool use. The board approved all facility changes, recognizing the necessity of these updates for improving school environments.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to enhancing educational facilities and resources within the Campbell County School District. All agenda items were approved, paving the way for continued improvements in the district's infrastructure and services.
