Rowan County Board of Education · August 19, 2026

Summary

A Trane representative reported the water‑source heat pump installation at McGrare Elementary is complete and conditioned spaces met the target date; remaining control programming and rooftop crane work are planned for a weekend in September or during fall break.

A Trane representative updated the board on McGrare Elementary's HVAC replacement project, saying the district's 59 water‑source heat pumps are installed and conditioned spaces met the target completion date. "Everything everything's running everything's running comfortably right now with all with all the classrooms and spaces," the representative said, adding that remaining items are controls programming and the planned crane lift for rooftop units. The contractor proposed doing the crane work over a weekend in September or, if weather or ground conditions require, during fall break.

Board members and the superintendent praised the speed of the project and the coordination that prevented school delays this fall. The representative noted minor ground repair (topsoil/grass) will follow crane work and the district will complete final inspections once programming is finished.
