Summary

Craven County Schools reported progress on multiple repair and renovation projects, including a nearly completed $155,615 New Bern High boiler, HVAC unit replacements, Trent Park roof recoating ($125,000 with warranty) and pending HVAC controls work that requires county commissioners’ approval.

Jordan Williams updated the board on the status of repair and renovation projects across the district. Key points included: New Bern High boiler replacement ($155,615) is about 90% complete and awaits third-party commissioning; Bendy Quinn unit 5 replacement ($121,725) and other unit changes are installed and awaiting commissioning; West Craven High band room renovation ($104,250) is expected to be completed in January; Vanceboro Farm Life art room work ($147,450) is anticipated in February; Trent Park gym roof recoating ($125,000) is completed and comes with a contractor warranty.

Williams said some control upgrades (West Craven HVAC controls, estimated $75,000, and similar controls at another high school for $64,000) are in the pipeline but require county-commissioner approval to release funds. Board members asked for clarification on how boiler/chiller systems affect classroom temperatures; Williams explained dampers and the need for remote controls to avoid manual adjustments.

Board members thanked staff for the work and asked for continued updates on commissioning dates and pending county approvals.
