Beckville ISD reviews junior high remodel plans with $171,000 in committed costs and additional quotes
Summary
Superintendent Devin Tate outlined junior high renovation estimates including a $29,020 VCT flooring package, $38,820 for ceiling tiles and LED lighting and $60,000 for tile/locker removal and painting (total about $171,000 committed); quotes for a fire alarm panel ($10,700), auditorium curtain refinish ($19,981) and a longer awning piece ($15,900) were noted.
Superintendent Devin Tate updated the Board on planned renovations to the junior high, presenting detailed cost estimates for several components. He said a new roof is planned and that adding a blue gutter system would cost about $3,000 more. Flooring replacement with VCT tile to match other district areas is estimated at $29,020; replacing ceiling tiles and installing new two-by-two LED lighting is estimated at $38,820; and removal of tiles and lockers plus painting and related work is estimated at $60,000. Mr. Tate summarized these figures as approximately $171,000 committed to give the junior high a 'face lift.'
Mr. Tate also reported additional quotes that the district is not committing to at this time, including $10,700 to change the fire alarm panel (a project deferred by taking it from the high school cafeteria), $19,981 to redo the auditorium curtains and an estimated $15,900 to repair or extend the awning by the field house to prevent standing water. Board members raised several maintenance concerns, including pressure-washing building exteriors before school starts and multiple auditorium updates that may require prioritization.
