District staff reported progress on two facilities projects: the soccer field and a TEMA/FEMA safe-room project. Mr. Hugh Pinckley said the soccer field project is next in line for assistance from the Civil Engineering Department for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) documentation. Separately, the Tennessee National Guard completed two environmental components required for the TEMA/FEMA Safe Room; district staff said final paperwork would be uploaded the following week for TEMA review.
Why it matters: Facilities projects affect student athletic opportunities, safety during severe weather or other emergencies, and potential eligibility for state or federal assistance through TEMA/FEMA.
What the record shows: The transcript records Mr. Hugh Pinckley's update on engineering assistance for the soccer field and notes completion of environmental components for the safe-room project by the Tennessee National Guard, with final paperwork pending TEMA review. The transcript does not include project budgets, construction schedules, or the specific environmental components completed.
Next steps: Staff indicated final paperwork for the safe room will be uploaded for TEMA review; further permitting, contracting or funding steps were not recorded in the transcript.
