Board approves amendments to 2020–2030 comprehensive facilities plan; some prior projects remain on list
Summary
The Monongalia County Board of Education approved amendments to its 2020–2030 Comprehensive Education Facilities Plan on Sept. 9 to reprioritize projects before submission to the School Building Authority; the board discussed limits on removing previously approved items such as Renaissance Academy.
The superintendent recommended and the board approved amendments to the 2020–2030 Comprehensive Education Facilities Plan at the Sept. 9 meeting to reprioritize projects ahead of submissions to the School Building Authority. Board members discussed that projects placed on the list in 2020 cannot be removed by the district until a new plan is created; items can be moved up or down in priority but remain on the approved list. "Once an item was put on the list when the committee brought that to the board in 2020 for approval, the school building authority does not permit you to take it off until you create a new plan," a board member said during discussion. The superintendent told the board an older list was available for comparison and acknowledged not providing it with the packet; the board reviewed the proposed amendments in executive content and the motion was moved and seconded. After brief discussion, members voted verbally and the chair announced the motion carries. No specific dollar amounts, dates for moved projects, or changes to funding were detailed during the public portion of the discussion; the board noted that a new CEFP will be created by 2030 as part of long-range planning and that amendments are intended to reflect current county priorities for the School Building Authority submission.
