Board reviews $235,452 paving request, plans online auctions for surplus buses and equipment
Summary
Operations staff asked the board to approve district paving work and announced plans to auction 10 older buses and surplus furniture and vehicles; the board approved multiple consent and financial items on voice votes.
Operations staff told the Cabell County Board of Education on Tuesday that the district is seeking approval for asphalt work across multiple school campuses and that surplus items including 10 older buses will be put up for online auction.
The operations update, delivered by a district operations official, listed a combined paving request totaling $235,452 to repave small lots and repair potholes at several campuses and district facilities. “That is a total of, 235,000, $452,” the official read aloud and then described specific sites: a small lot at Village of Barbersville Central City Elementary, the Culloden bus loop, Martha Elementary back parking lot, a gravel lot at Nichols Elementary, parking lots at Salt Rock Elementary, a small lot at Spring Hill Elementary, potholes at Huntington High School and Barbersville bus garage, and drainage work at the transportation complex.
The official also explained the district will place 10 buses on an online, state-approved auction; those buses range about 15–17 years old with average mileage of about 140,000–141,000 miles. “These buses range anywhere from 15 to 17 years old. They usually have an average, mileage of about a 140, 141,000 miles,” the official said. The presenter said the district typically retains a pool of surplus buses to allow for breakdowns and service needs.
On surplus property more broadly, staff described an auction of older cafeteria tables, desks and vehicles that are no longer cost-effective to maintain. The official said the district tries to reuse items in good condition but must clear space and remove items that will be auctioned or scrapped.
The operations presenter asked the board to remove one interagency agreement with Mountain Health Network from the agenda so staff can expand and rework it; staff said the agreement initially covered only LPN students but will be revised to include additional adult and CTE elements and returned on a future agenda. The official also asked the board to remove an expulsion item from the packet because the recommended action contained inaccurate text; that item will be brought back on July 1.
The board approved the consent agenda and financial items during the meeting by voice vote. The consent agenda motion was moved by a board member and seconded; the chair called for “aye” and reported the motion carried. The finance section included routine items such as the monthly treasurer’s report, vouchers payable, budget supplements and transfers to close out the fiscal year, and a salary-schedule update that adds a stipend for letters training and removes an outdated cap on service-employee notary stipends.
No formal contract award for the paving was announced during the update; staff presented the request as part of the consent/approval process on the agenda.
