District staff updated the board on the Chase City Elementary project, reporting that asbestos remediation is complete and that demolition and site work are progressing.
A project representative said procurement and buyout steps are still underway and that the division will begin submitting scanned project update reports with photos and budget information starting in December, with a fuller construction overview expected in January.
Staff cautioned the public not to trespass on the demolition site and explained arrangements for distributing salvaged bricks through the current temporary Chase City site and the principal (Mr. Taylor) to avoid safety risks.
The capital improvement committee later noted the division is seeking a bid to add awnings at bus loading/unloading areas for Clarksville and Chase City elementary schools; the committee said the bid and funding source will be evaluated and, if feasible, added to the Chase City project cost.
No formal change to the Chase City project budget or timeline was voted on at the Nov. 18 meeting; staff committed to returning with photographic evidence and budget detail during the December update.
