The Louisa County School Board was told on April 1 that the high‑school construction addition is 58.61% complete and that $12,212,896.40 has been spent on the project, representing 46.98% of the budget, a facilities project manager told the board.
The update showed the project remains on schedule and under budget, and included a single, small change order in the meeting packet. "We are on time and under budget," the facilities presenter said.
The presenter said roof work has begun and materials were delivered earlier in the week; metal roof sheets are installed and the roof should be "dry" within about two weeks. Work to replace the building chiller is in progress: one unit has been removed and replaced and the presenter said the new unit should be operational the next day.
Board members were told the project is entering its second half and staff are reviewing contingency funds to determine whether some contingencies can be reallocated to benefit the main middle‑school building. The presenter said phase 6 of the project will include moving modular classrooms and that staff will return with recommendations and purchase orders for where those modulars will be sited.
The packet included four payments to RRMM, identified in the meeting materials, and the presenter noted those items were available for board review. The board also received an update on a separate CTE (career and technical education) project: the division put that project out to bid, held a planned pre‑bid meeting in April, and set bids to be due on an April date at 3 p.m., with the intent of awarding a general contractor at upcoming meetings.
Board discussion included brief logistical questions about timing and materials; no new formal actions were taken on the construction report during the meeting. The facilities presenter said staff will bring specific recommendations back to the board on modular placement and any proposed use of contingency funds.
Looking ahead, staff said the division will continue to monitor completion milestones and return to the board with contract recommendations and purchase orders needed to complete phase 6 and the remaining punch‑list items.
