Board approves donor-funded HVAC for Giles County High School fieldhouse
Summary
The board approved installation of HVAC in the Giles County High School fieldhouse; booster-club funds and independent donors will cover the cost, and the district will not be billed. The board advanced the project by voice vote after a brief presentation by a community representative.
The Giles County school board approved a plan to install heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment in the Giles County High School fieldhouse using money from the athletic booster club and independent donors, with no cost to the district.
Dr. Ferrier introduced Mister Thomas, who told the board that boosters and outside donors were ready to contribute a portion of the funding and that multiple quotes had been obtained. "We would just like the opportunity to put HVAC in the field house that is used by all of our activities," Mister Thomas said, noting the installation would benefit cheer, flag corps, indoor soccer, softball, baseball, football and basketball activities and help avoid schedule changes tied to heat-index concerns.
Board members moved to approve the installation; the motion was seconded and advanced by voice vote. The minutes record a voice vote in favor; no roll-call tally was provided in the transcript.
Next steps: staff will proceed with vendor selection and coordinate donor contributions to complete the installation without using district funds.
