Person County board approves contractors, fees, custodial increase, and capital repairs
Summary
The board approved multiple items including a recommendation of HM Current Corporation for renovations, student fees for 2026–27, a custodial-contract increase, a CCA summer school amendment, commitment of $300,000 in lottery funds to bond payments, and repair contracts for two water towers.
The Person County Board of Education approved a package of routine and capital items during its meeting, voting by voice on motions to advance contracts, fees and repairs.
Key actions the board approved included: a letter recommendation for HM Current Corporation as general contractor for Lot Two renovations and ADA safety projects funded via limited obligation bonds; the 2026–27 student fee schedule; a custodial contract adjustment that includes a 3% annual increase (amount stated in the meeting transcript); and an amended license agreement with CCA to operate its first summer school program, with the company reimbursing for teacher assistants, bus drivers, nutrition staff, fuel and paying a per-student overhead fee.
The board also approved committing $300,000 of lottery funds for debt service on limited obligation bonds for the 2026–27 year and accepted quotes to repair the Oak Lane and Woodland water towers at a combined estimated cost of just over $114,000, to be paid from capital outlay and capital project funds. Board members voted by voice for each item; the transcript records motions, seconds and approval but does not include roll-call tallies.
Board members asked clarifying questions on details such as grant offsets for SRO costs and whether summer programs were K–2 or broader grade bands; staff responded with program logistics and implementation notes. Where precise numerical or scheduling details were not provided in the public discussion, the transcript records the amounts or descriptions as stated by staff.
Several items were informational or set for a later action date: multiple policies were presented for first read and scheduled to return for action at the June 25 meeting. The meeting adjourned after consent approvals and a short closed-session period recorded in the minutes.
