Board approves canopy at Temple High School to aid student access
Summary
The Carroll County Board of Education unanimously approved an above-threshold facility request Aug. 21 to install a canopy over an exterior ramp at Temple High School to assist a ninth-grade student with mobility needs. The cost figure stated in the meeting transcript is unclear and flagged for verification.
The Carroll County Board of Education unanimously approved Aug. 21 a request to install a canopy over a ramp at Temple High School to help a ninth-grade student move between the main building and the cafeteria.
Superintendent Scott Cowher said the student is a ninth grader who will be with the district for the next several years and cannot transition from the building to the dining area safely because the ramp is uncovered. The board voted to authorize staff to proceed so the canopy can be installed as quickly as possible.
During the presentation, an amount was stated for the work; the transcript records that figure as "about $5,455,000 dollars," which appears inconsistent with typical canopy projects and was not clarified during the meeting. The board approved the request unanimously by voice/raised hands.
The action directs facilities staff to complete the canopy installation. The superintendent indicated he would send facilities staff (named in the meeting as Glenn Force) to arrange the work.
