Board approves mill‑and‑overlay paving from Jacket Way to ROTC area to be completed before school start
Summary
The board approved a building‑grounds committee recommendation to mill and overlay the driveway from Jacket Way back to the ROTC area and restore striping; committee sought board approval to complete work before school opens.
Lexington, N.C. — The Lexington City School Board on July 15 approved a paving project recommended by the building and grounds committee to mill and overlay the driveway from Jacket Way back to the ROTC area and replace striping, with the committee and staff seeking quick approval so the work can be done before school starts.
The committee presented a vendor quote received the day of the meeting for grinding the top layer and applying new asphalt — described in the presentation as a mill‑and‑overlay — along the alleyway and driveway that runs from the road to the building. The project includes repair and overlay of the surface and restoration of parking and lane striping.
Why it matters: The work addresses a damaged driveway and circulation area used by vehicles and ROTC activities; completing it prior to the school year would limit disruption during instruction.
Motion and outcome: Miss Hathaway moved to approve the building and grounds committee recommendation; Dr. Phillips seconded. The motion carried. Several board members voted yes during the roll call; speakers on the dais indicated the vendor could schedule the work quickly if the board acted promptly.
Next steps: Staff will coordinate with the vendor to schedule the mill‑and‑overlay work and restore striping prior to the 2025–26 school year start, if the vendor's schedule permits.
