Board approves FY27 capital projects; Schneider Electric energy contract noted
Summary
Board approved the FY27 capital projects package unanimously; administration said larger bond timing made this year’s capital total higher and that major HVAC and energy work will be executed under a Schneider Electric performance contract this fall.
The Cherokee County School Board unanimously approved the administration’s FY27 capital projects budget and discussed priority line items and timing.
Administration explained the one-time larger total (about $6 million in bond proceeds) was a timing opportunity tied to debt-service conditions; large-ticket items such as HVAC replacements will be executed under an upcoming Schneider Electric energy performance contract following an energy audit scheduled for September. Trustees asked about specific line items — including a $100,000 remedy for a knee wall at the Gaffney softball field and a $120,000 band-storage building at two campuses — and administration explained omissions in architectural drawings and the expected purposes for the storage buildings.
The capital projects motion passed unanimously, and administration said a miscellaneous capital contingency (~$792,154.24) will cover emergent repairs during the fiscal year.
