District says construction progressing; new field could host graduation
Summary
District facilities staff reported progress on athletic-complex work, paving set for May 1, bleachers passed a preliminary inspection and the district is considering holding graduation at the new football field; officials also flagged new roof leaks and an upcoming elementary HVAC replacement.
District facilities staff told the Metcalfe County Board of Education on April 14 that construction has moved forward despite recent rain and that several next steps are scheduled.
Matt Shirley, who oversees facilities and digital learning, said fencing and lighting crews have begun work, paving for the track and tennis courts is slated to start May 1, football lockers are completed and bleachers passed a first inspection and are moving toward final inspection. Shirley said the district is considering holding this year's graduation at the new football field.
Superintendent Josh Hurt and Shirley said crews identified a few new leak locations after heavy rains; they noted the Central Office roof and the Old School Caf/Gym roof will need further attention and that an HVAC unit at the elementary school likely needs replacement soon. Shirley said a new retaining wall at the baseball field performed as intended during the recent rains.
The board approved related construction paperwork during the meeting, including BG4 and the closeout on BG5. The transcript logs the approvals but does not include technical specifications or contract-change details beyond the warrant pay applications and the BG-form approvals.
