Board members explained the $8 million cap reflects a maximum authorization; the actual amount would be determined by the county's calculation of what funds 48 mills would generate at the time of issuance. The board said smaller projects could be included depending on the final proceeds and that the district already has an outstanding $480,000 long-term debt that it plans to pay from the proceeds; after that payoff, the district said it would have no remaining long-term debt obligations and future bond proceeds could be used fully for capital projects.

The board's bond attorney, identified in the meeting as Franny, was present to answer questions. A board presenter, Mr. Damron, had earlier provided data to the board about the bond program. The motion to approve the bond resolution passed by unanimous voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CCSD Special Board Meeting - July 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a bond resolution authorizing the district to seek bonds not to exceed $8 million while holding the millage at 48 mills; the final issuance amount will depend on county calculations of revenue at that millage.","taxTitle","Chester 01, School Districts, South Carolina","taxId",49333,"location","South Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6519537,"Board approves five-year capital improvement plan; Garland Roofing recommends immediate full roof replacement at Chester High",156,3310000,3466000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5354465-d04118d65ed5b2b2c25a6d066cbd5a05&start=3310&end=3466","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5354465-d04118d65ed5b2b2c25a6d066cbd5a05/thumbnail_3310000.jpg","/articles/6519537/South-Carolina/Board-approves-five-year-capital-improvement-plan-Garland-Roofing-recommends-immediate-full-roof-replacement-at-Chester-High","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519537-5daf93ffa9fd4379911d8757649a5e42/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139129&Signature=Pr9e5hgjy0SZT9JWtUDWocwPnS6XRphNcYhGTIXgjwUR09Pp0RBK0sKs8w5PRMgl0Fbub33iYeyTroPA72O6X8IxtaaK3yftKEnsjd1tYmEb1RYY7f0CBr6VGN84SQaWdBY7bwUWIDfZXCT0mw-4-7Z10rb9mYsnVZAevB~s~~bzw-7RBOPfBK-5x-sQdf9rn~PTFbaLLOK9IdqsK-5mJKAAghvae-m4OdpiRulnwKTmIyl76UI4-5E1482~2BZfn0Nw0pgWmkhOclpUOxCzEc6s0W7QbDuKNqzD7ExggengIFmjvED9ZVDiKjH8ZeIRKg3-Zcd~raNIpCA-TgXeyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chester County Board of School Trustees unanimously approved an updated five-year capital improvement plan at a July 2025 special meeting. The plan prioritizes roofing, gutters, plumbing and safety-related upgrades across district schools.

Board members said an assessment from Garland Roofing warned of \"major water intrusion\" and a risk of \"possible roof collapse\" at Chester High School if the current deterioration persists. According to the district presentation, Garland Roofing \"strongly urge[d] Chester County School District to pursue a full roof replacement at Chester High School without delay.\" The district reported that the recommended replacement requires removing existing PUF and BUR systems, replacing insulation and cover boards, inspecting and repairing or replacing the roof deck as needed, and installing a new code-compliant, warrantied roof system.

The district presented a revised estimate of $6,250,000 for a full roof replacement at Chester High School. The board said the earlier $20 million estimate had included both roofing and HVAC work; the district stated HVAC remains functional and was excluded in the new estimate. The roof work would be split into phases across two fiscal years, with phase 1 to begin immediately and an estimated completion in February (year not specified in the record).

Board materials presented at the meeting show $6.1 million of projects tied to the 2025 bond schedule (if bonds are issued), including Chester High School and Great Falls High School roofs and an annual technology and IT network refresh. Separately, $5,045,000 in projects were listed for funding from existing capital improvement funds, which the district said it would offset with transfers from the general fund totaling $3.1 million (the presentation listed $1.6 million from last year's undesignated funds and $1.5 million from this year), leaving an expected net draw of $1.9 million from the capital improvement fund.

Specific projects identified for capital-improvement funding include Chester High School outside lighting, Lewisville High School plumbing, Great Falls High School gutters and electronic door systems, Chester Park epoxy restrooms, elementary school gutters and replacement of cosmetology stations at Chester County. Future-year items listed for 2026-27 include Chester High School roofing phase 2, Chester High track resurfacing, Lewisville High School roof, Great Falls High School track resurfacing, Louisville Middle School gym floor, and technology and network updates.

Trustees moved and seconded the motion to approve the capital improvement plan; the motion passed unanimously by voice vote in open session.","Trustees approved the district's updated five-year capital improvement plan, including a $6.25 million estimate for a full Chester High School roof replacement based on a Garland Roofing assessment and a mix of bond proceeds and capital-improvement funds to pay for projects.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6519545,"Chester County board approves certified personnel recommendations and extends superintendent's contract",115,3193000,3308000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5354465-d04118d65ed5b2b2c25a6d066cbd5a05&start=3193&end=3308","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5354465-d04118d65ed5b2b2c25a6d066cbd5a05/thumbnail_3193000.jpg","/articles/6519545/South-Carolina/Chester-County-board-approves-certified-personnel-recommendations-and-extends-superintendents-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519545-803dee8ce3dbb535fdeb5c38682d4b44/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139129&Signature=Gv0BBQgmRrupsbT62Ebn8S0b9a8Tx8CEKqtiS-ddBujhd8sC9UiJVYgVvZQbMvFbe0HpqJbA8Vu8n91S6eFHHT3IABmftPZFgPtffPlZ9oiGTBghSFDOI8vm2SgX-OuyvqxpvCd2l2~TYC9yzDgO~N6pvdhZq1I3z8oYFADs5N~7ee59mfeOne20nxoVR~9ccBQwnXCFzdwGmegZaMu4w~bNx8JhqiJoVR~eixITzvfJi4aOrAcB1dE7ZbvmO3FODRXguywH3sFGi2mn-DTYjtv7Hw5jW-WF-0XlM-QBUb5KU45gN4xxbj8rUGbTDwI7YsuNhh-lD4U6PTP3miPEkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chester County Board of School Trustees on a July 2025 special meeting unanimously approved certified personnel recommendations discussed in executive session and voted to amend the superintendent's contract.

Board members moved out of executive session and into open session before taking the votes. The board approved the certified personnel recommendations as presented in executive session by voice vote. The motion carried unanimously.

The board then voted to amend the superintendent's contract to extend the contract term by one year to end on June 30, 2028, invoking an automatic renewal provision that the board said became effective on Jan. 31, 2025. The amendment also includes a 3% salary increase described as a cost-of-living adjustment required by the agreement. The motion to amend the contract carried unanimously by voice vote.

Meeting remarks indicate the motions were moved and seconded during the open-session action item portion of the meeting; the transcript records unanimous \"aye\" votes but does not list individual trustee vote names on the record.

The board recorded no additional conditions attached to the contract amendment during the open session.","At a July special meeting, the Chester County Board of School Trustees approved certified personnel recommendations from executive session and unanimously amended the superintendent's contract to add one year and a 3% salary increase.","actionData","errors"]
