District construction staff and the superintendent updated the Mercer County Board of Education on progress at the new elementary school and a proposed corporate sponsorship for the high school gym floor.

A construction representative showed interior and exterior photos and reported that roofing is largely in place, terrazzo flooring is completed in some first- and second-grade wings (currently covered), windows are slated to be installed before the next board meeting, and temporary heating will be introduced to allow interior finishing to continue through colder weather. The representative described canopies, parking and traffic-pattern work as advancing and said masonry should be substantially complete by the end of the year.

Superintendent Brewer added project-level details and also reported on related facilities work, including meetings about a new stadium and athletics project.

Separately, Superintendent Brewer presented an action item: a proposed Whittaker Bank naming-rights and advertising agreement to help offset the cost of a renovated gym floor. "They would like to give us $25,000," he told the board, and described terms discussed with the bank. The superintendent said the district negotiated an agreement that would place the bank’s name on the floor and noted variable term language in the presentation. The meeting record states the item would be taken as a roll-call vote, but the transcript does not include a recorded roll-call result.

Board members asked clarifying questions about construction progress and thanked staff for the update. The meeting moved on to other business and adjourned.

Because the transcript’s phrasing about the sponsorship term is unclear (the speaker said "up to 2 and 15 years"), reporters should verify the contract term and the final vote outcome before publication.
