In a significant move for Campbell County Schools, the Board of Education approved the contingent sale of a property on East Alexandria Pike during their meeting on December 18, 2023. The property, which had been appraised at $65,000, received an offer of $86,500, resulting in a net profit of $81,310 after realtor costs. This decision follows the Kentucky Department of Education's approval for the property disposal, marking a strategic step in managing district assets.
The board's actions reflect a commitment to maximizing resources for the benefit of the school community. The sale agreement will be executed following final approval from the Kentucky Department of Education, with the district required to submit documentation within 30 days.
Additionally, the board discussed the approval of bid documents for the Campbell County High School auditorium and lighting project. This initiative, developed in collaboration with architectural firms, aims to enhance the school's facilities, ensuring that students have access to modern and effective learning environments. The project includes comprehensive upgrades to power controls and equipment, which are essential for the auditorium's functionality.
Both decisions underscore the board's focus on improving educational infrastructure and financial stewardship, directly impacting the quality of education in Campbell County. As these projects move forward, they promise to enhance the learning experience for students and provide better resources for educators.
