Funding for School Projects
The Board of Supervisors at its September 21 meeting approved a request by the Public School Division to fund renovation projects.
Following a request by School Board Chairman Mack Wright and Superintendent Dr. Greg Killough, the BOS unanimously voted to approve $301,828 to replace HVAC units at the Bowling Green annex and to replace security doors at Caroline High School.
“These are items we just have to replace,” commented BOS Chairman Maxie Rozell. “When these things wear out, we have to fix them.”
