Board approves moving pre-K and self-contained classes from Dillard to North, declines amendment to shift EC funds
Summary
Trustees approved relocating pre‑K and self‑contained classes from Dillard to North Elementary, accepting a quoted ~$998 maintenance cost to bring North into compliance; an amendment to fund the work from local EC dollars failed.
The Caswell County Schools board approved a plan to relocate certain pre‑K and self‑contained special‑education classes from Dillard to North Elementary so those students can be served in an elementary setting.
Superintendent ("Superintendent") told trustees converting space at North requires replacing some restroom fixtures and related work, citing a maintenance quote "for maintenance is $998 and some change." The superintendent said the work would permit the district to meet IEP and state compliance needs for students with exceptionalities.
During discussion a board member asked whether the $998 could be taken from the local EC (exceptional children) budget; an amendment proposing to pay the cost from the local EC budget instead of fund balance was moved but did not pass. The chair then called a vote on the main motion to relocate the students and accept the quoted operational cost; the motion carried.
Maintenance staff confirmed the district inspected facilities and identified the specific fixtures requiring replacement. The superintendent said the district can complete the move if the quoted minor repairs are completed, and that the work will support state compliance for students’ IEPs.
The board did not identify a contract vendor for the maintenance work during the meeting; trustees directed staff to proceed with the relocation and to report back as needed.
