Summary
District staff reported that Chase City Elementary remains in pre-demolition after asbestos was identified and must be remediated before demolition; staff also updated the board on surplus equipment plans and a band-room retrofit awaiting doors.
Facilities staff updated the board on Oct. 20 regarding Chase City Elementary, the complex surplus inventory and a high-school band-room renovation.
Mister Dalton said Chase City is in the pre-demolition stage but asbestos testing found more material than expected in cafeteria and kitchen ceiling areas; remediation in the basement and affected areas must occur before demolition can proceed. Staff said they will provide an itemized inventory of surplus equipment later this fall, with plans to post items for sale (GovDeals) once approved.
On the high-school band room, staff reported new LVT flooring and lighting have been installed, but progress is held up while the district awaits interior doors and removable mullions; staff estimated about a six-week lead time for the specialty doors needed to move large instruments into the space.
The board voted to approve declaring weight-lifting mats surplus later in the meeting; staff said a fuller surplus inventory would be presented in November.
