Transition committee outlines inventory, storage and moving plan for school consolidation
Summary
The district'appointed transition committee reported inventory, storage and moving plans for consolidating five outlying schools into Madison County Central and Madison County High School, set timelines for spring-cleaning and teacher packing, and said volunteers will handle much of the work.
The transition committee on March 3 reported a districtwide inventory and moving plan to prepare Madison County Central School and Madison County High School for students and staff after consolidation.
The committee representative said the group has met four times and compiled furniture, cafeteria and equipment inventories from the outlying schools: Greenville, Lee and Pinetta. "We have gone through a wide variety of things," the representative said, adding that submitted inventories will be reviewed and individual classroom and teacher needs will be identified after staffing is finalized.
Why it matters: The committee's work lays out what equipment and supplies the district will keep, what will be moved into storage and what could later be donated or auctioned. The plan affects how quickly classrooms can be readied and whether the district must rent trucks or hire contractors for moving and installation.
Key details: the committee said: - All schools in the outlying areas completed furniture inventories; excessive items are to be stored between the high school and central school pending final decisions. - Tim Ginn prepared an inventory of machinery, outdoor equipment and janitorial supplies; Iris is inventorying cafeteria equipment and supplies; Isaac and the IT department are cataloging electronic equipment (TVs, computers, charging stations, projectors). - Cameras at the outlying schools will remain active while the district owns the properties and stores items there. - A clean-out of Madison County Central School is a high priority: the presenter said 29 former classrooms exist at Central, of which 8 are being used for storage; the plan is to clear those 8 rooms during spring break (Monday through Wednesday of that week) so IT can identify and preinstall TVs and charging stations the following week. - Teachers at Greenville, Lee and Pinetta will receive moving supplies and instructions: the committee outlined 20 moving boxes, tape and labels per teacher with packing days scheduled for May 23 and May 27'May 30. - Library consolidation has a separate plan prepared by Katie Roberts with a tentative deadline of July 15; unnecessary or excess items will be considered for online auction or donation only after central and high school inventories are complete.
Volunteers and staffing: Committee members said volunteers from the transition team will do much of the supervision and physical clean-out. The committee noted that some contractors (for mounting equipment such as charging cabinets) must be procured via competitive bid and that some IT and contractor hires must follow procurement rules.
Unresolved items: The committee said it is researching auction platforms and has not decided where long-term records or excess furniture will be permanently stored.
The committee asked the board to hold off on donations or sales until central and high school needs are fully met.
The committee concluded its update and invited board questions and further direction.
