Board weighs moving Buies Creek replacement up while retaining CTE/high school as tier‑1 priority
Summary
Members urged moving Buies Creek Elementary replacement to tier‑1, but several directors cautioned keeping the Harnett Early College CTE high school in tier‑1 because of potential outside funding and partnership opportunities.
During the facilities discussion a board member urged that Buies Creek Elementary School be moved from tier‑2 to tier‑1, citing the facility’s need for replacement. "I would really love to see the Buies Creek Elementary School replacement moved up to tier 1," the board member said.
Staff and other members said the career/CTE high school project has potential external funding and partnerships (including preliminary conversations with the community college system) and recommended keeping it as a tier‑1 priority; the Triton High School auxiliary gym addition was defended as a long‑standing need. Staff emphasized the project lists are preliminary and that population shifts and funding availability will determine which projects advance.
