Superintendent reports minimal storm damage, $5M in liquid funds and outlines capital priorities
Summary
Superintendent Chance Mays reported limited storm damage, replacement of a gas meter and a hot-water heater, said the district holds just over $5 million in liquid funds and floated a near-$370,000 parking-lot estimate and locker-room AC fixes while continuing an athletic director search.
Chance Mays told the committee the district weathered an ice storm with "pretty minimal damage" but reported two facility issues: a busted gas meter and a failed inline hot-water heater at the new high school that have been or will be replaced. "We survived the ice storm, pretty minimal damage," he reported.
Mays also reported district liquidity and capital priorities: "we're right north of $5,000,000 in in liquid funds right now," which he said equates to roughly nine to 12 months of operating expenses. He suggested the parking lot — contractor quote just under $370,000 — as a top capital priority and noted locker-room AC work could be in the "20 to $30" range as quoted in the meeting (the transcript did not consistently record the currency unit for that figure). He said interviews for an athletic director start immediately and that staff are working to give Ms. McDermott the authority needed to accept a recently awarded LIFT grant.
