Board approves submission of needs-based lottery reimbursement request for Hopton High School
Summary
Sampson County Schools requested county approval to submit a distribution request seeking reimbursement of just over $2 million in needs-based lottery funds already spent on the Hopton High School project; the board approved the submission by voice vote.
County staff presented a distribution request from the Sampson County School System seeking reimbursement from a needs-based lottery grant for expenses the school system already incurred on the new Hopton High School. Staff said the school system received $62 million in needs-based lottery funding for the project and was requesting reimbursement of a little more than $2 million for early project expenditures.
A motion to approve submission of the distribution request to the lottery authority was made, seconded, and carried by voice vote; no roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: The reimbursement will restore local cash flow for costs already incurred on the Hopton High School construction program and does not itself change the underlying project scope.
Ending: County staff approved submission of the request; the board’s vote authorized county staff to transmit the reimbursement application to the lottery authority.
