Board approves Walker Valley High School agricultural pole barn
Summary
Arlette Robinson asked the board for permission to construct a small agricultural/FFA pole barn at Walker Valley High School; she said the project will cost less than $10,000 and the board approved the request 7–0.
Arlette Robinson requested board approval to construct an agricultural pole barn beside existing greenhouses within the fenced ag area at Walker Valley High School, saying the structure would be a simple roofed structure with six poles. Robinson told the board the project will cost less than $10,000 and that funding is available in the Innovative School Model grant, so no additional board funding was requested.
Board members praised the project as a teacher-driven enhancement to hands-on agricultural programming and approved the construction request by roll call, 7–0. Project oversight and any necessary contractor coordination will be handled by district facilities and the project lead.
The vote authorizes the school to proceed with the buildout within the stated budget; staff will report back on progress and any unforeseen cost changes.
