Board approves 66‑day roofing change order for White Glove Elementary; no added cost

The Dickson County Board of Education on Nov. 20 approved a change order for the White Glove Elementary roof project that extends the contractor's timeline by 66 calendar days without increasing the contract price.

Facilities presenter Mister Hall explained the extension was needed because vertical roofing panels arrived short relative to the thickness of the new material and the spray foam applied on the roof, creating clearance issues. Hall said the roofing contractor recommended roofing and waterproofing the raised wells that house air‑conditioning units rather than leaving them as painted block walls exposed to weather.

"It's not gonna cost us any more money," Mister Hall said, describing contingency money and the recommendation to add time rather than additional funds. The board voted to approve the change order with a motion and second; the vote was recorded as "all ayes."

Mr. Hall said the change order uses a standard change‑order form and that contractor Lane Lyle recommended the adjustment. Board members asked clarifying questions; no board member requested additional funding for the project. The district will implement the schedule change and continue contract oversight.
