Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
To begin the Director's Report, Ms. Abernathy told the board that the maintenance contract between the school system and the county has expired (although the contract has been extended for more discussion). She mentioned that some issues have surfaced which revealed problems with purchasing parts and performing maintenance on county buildings. She went on to state that some members of the commission have suggested that the work orders continue to go through the school system's maintenance department but the county maintenance employees, who are supervised by the school system, should order parts. Ms. Abernathy feels that if the school system oversees maintenance on county buildings, it should be as the contract states: Maintenance Officer Manager will be required to get quotes for ordering parts and supplies needed to complete the work requested and also required to get parts ordered. The rules were suspended to allow Jeff Brock, Maintenance Foreman, a chance to answer questions.
Ms. Abernathy asked the board if they would like to hold ribbon cuttings for the new additions at the three Lewisburg elementary schools prior to the January board meeting. It was decided the members would meet at the Central Office to travel as a group in vans, then return to the Central Office for the January board meeting.
Concluding the Director's Report: the process of putting a cell phone in every classroom is underway and should be completed by Christmas; a revised audit report was placed at each board member's seat; repair on the intercom at CHES should be completed by Friday, December 12, 2014.
Ms. Abernathy wished everyone a Merry Christmas.
