Madison County Board approves construction packages, calendar revisions and equipment purchases
Summary
The Madison County Board of Education approved multiple construction financing forms, change orders, purchases for middle-school exploratory modules, a revised school calendar and several personnel and surplus declarations during its March meeting.
MADISON COUNTY — The Madison County Board of Education during its March meeting approved a series of construction and budget actions, adopted a revised school calendar and approved purchases meant to expand middle-school career-exploration programming.
The board unanimously approved a consent agenda that included minutes, claims, personnel actions, out-of-state student trips and two shortened-school-day applications. It then approved 16 change orders tied to the Phillips Building renovation, a set of BG-4 and BG-5 construction forms for multiple projects, and two Paxton Patterson purchases for middle-school exploratory equipment.
Why it matters: The actions clear the way for ongoing construction at multiple sites and for pilot programming in middle schools intended to expose students to career and technical education pathways. The change orders and BG forms authorize contract changes and project funding that affect timelines and budgets of district construction projects.
