August 2, 2021 at 5:30 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

Comments (Visible on Public Agenda):  -Mr. Hal Taylor gives us an Operations update.  CHS- as mentioned in previous meetings we thought we would have delays.  Our hoods caused us to have some delays.  The fire marshall is supposed to be here on Thursday to approve the fire hoods.  Our commercial dishwashers didn't ship until July 16, but they are in now.  The sewer and waterline went extremely well, it stayed on task the whole project.  We had to dig up 4 different spots in CHS.  Wilson Construction is who worked on the sewer/waterline and they also put up the canopies.  Everything is up and working as it should.  CHS had a new crosswalk put in at the high school.  CMS-the fence is there for TDOT construction.  The posts are repainted (54 posts) and they pressure washed the building. The dish table was replaced in the cafeteria.  Arnold Memorial Elementary - At the end of summer school we lost a fire panel. We are safe to start school with a temporary replacement panel while we wait for the permanent replacement panel.  Arnold is also in the process of getting a hood and dishwasher.  Blythe-Bower - all the rooms that had carpet now have tile. There is a natural shortage of the glue that is used for the carpet on the steps in the theater.  We should receive the glue in October, and we can finish that project then. Mayfield- we painted some of the interior of the building.  Ross/Yates - repair of the hoods and update the fire protection.  Stuart Elementary - We have had a tough time with the tile shortage, but we are up to date with this project except for the rubber flooring that is out of stock now.  
-Mr. Cogdill states we are unsure if the score board will be here by the first home football game.
-The board asks since the canopy at CHS is slanted will the water run back into the grass and will that cause drainage issues?  Mr. Taylor states the water drains into the posts and out.
-The board asks if the purchase of the lot in front of CCCE is complete?  Mr. Taylor states it is complete.
