Board approves Erwin High School gym-floor change order, athletic outlay for track hurdles; consent agenda passed
Summary
The Buncombe County Board of Education approved an Erwin High School gym floor repair change order and the use of capital athletic outlay funds to buy track hurdles, and it passed a consent agenda that included minutes, personnel actions, procurement items and several policies for second reading.
At the Buncombe County Board of Education regular meeting in April, the board approved two action-agenda items — a change order for the Erwin High School gym-floor repair project and a request to use capital athletic outlay funds to purchase track hurdles — and approved a consent agenda covering minutes, personnel and multiple procurement and policy items.
Board members moved and seconded motions for both action items and voiced unanimous support; the chair called for those in favor and members responded "Aye." No board member recorded an opposed vote on the floor during the meeting.
The gym-floor project was presented with Clark White in the room for questions; the board then moved to approve the project change order. The board later approved the added agenda item to allow Erwin High School to use capital athletic outlay funds to buy track hurdles after a brief call for questions to Mr. Wyatt, who was available for information.
The consent agenda was approved as a block and included: minutes from several February and March 2025 meetings; the April 2025 personnel report; budget amendment No. 5; advisory council appointment requests; multiple high-school requests to use capital athletic outlay funds for athletic equipment and planning (scoreboard controllers, wrestling mat, pole-vault pit cover, advanced planning for a new field house); technology procurement intent to purchase network storage servers; noncompetitive procurement requests (Musco Sports Lighting; Carolina Hardwood and Construction, Inc.); and several policies advanced for second reading, including policies on alternative learning programs, concussion/head-injury procedures, student tobacco use, student discipline hearing procedures, smoking and tobacco products, grant administration and minority-owned-business participation.
