Board approves 10‑year facility needs survey for submission to DPI and county
Summary
The board approved a 111‑page NCDPI facility needs survey that lists campus‑level projects and estimated costs (examples cited: an approximate $6.26M estimate for one high school and $1M for another school); the survey is a working document for county collaboration and state planning.
District staff presented the state’s new facility needs survey platform and a 111‑page draft that itemizes projected repairs and capital needs over a 10‑year horizon by campus. The presentation walked the board through the campus information pages, capacity calculations, and a set of planned projects with associated cost estimates.
Staff highlighted examples such as large repair totals for high‑school facilities and a $1,000,000 estimate for a middle school identified in the packet. The survey is intended to provide a consistent statewide dataset; signing the certification page does not obligate the county to fund every project but certifies that the board and county have reviewed and acknowledged the district’s identified needs.
Board members asked about the age of some cost estimates (some derived from older studies) and requested that higher‑priority urgent items be identified so the board and county can pursue immediate funding where available. Staff said the survey is a working document that will support conversations with county commissioners and possible external partners or grant sources.
The board approved the submission and certification required by the July 31 DPI deadline.
