Summary

The Rockingham County Schools board approved a contract for asbestos remediation and related work at the Draper site after staff said the contract exceeds the superintendent's $75,000 approval threshold.

The Rockingham County Schools Board of Education approved a contract to proceed with remediation and preparation work at the Draper Head Start site during the March 31 work session.

District staff told the board the Draper project had been part of an earlier plan the board approved on Feb. 26 to prepare the site, including asbestos abatement and other remediation. A staff presenter said the contract had arrived and that because it exceeded the $75,000 threshold set for superintendent-level approvals, the board needed to approve moving into contract.

A presenter said, "Because it is over the $75,000 threshold that the board has for superintendent approval, we are bringing it to you for approval." Trustees moved and seconded the motion and approved the contract by voice vote.

Staff indicated funds for the work had been approved previously and that this vote authorized the district to enter into the contract. The administration said representatives and additional staff were available to answer questions about the remediation and contracting process.
