After Rebecca Pepper’s re-election and swearing-in by Judge Andrew Self, the Christian County School Board convened to discuss multiple construction and demolition updates.
During the meeting, Alliance Corporation Vice President Tim Geegan provided updates on the progress of the new high school project. Assistant Superintendent Kevin Crider requested board approval to solicit bids for the new high school athletic facilities.
“The baseball, softball, tennis, a four-lane practice track and then a soccer competition track inside of that and a soccer practice field outside,” Crider outlined. “The baseball and softball are going out to bid for the field turf, and we have added for soccer the field turf, inside the track.”
Crider noted that the estimated cost of the project is approximately $7.5 million, with most funding coming from a state grant. Geegan reassured the board that contingency funding is in good shape. If approved, bids would be accepted by the end of January 2025, with all work expected to be completed by this time next year.
The school board unanimously approved proceeding with the bidding process for the project.
In other matters, the board recognized the CCPS "ALL IN" Student and Employees of the Month:
The board also received construction updates from Tim Geegan on the new high school, approved three change orders totaling $187,077.78 for the high school construction project, and authorized a payment invoice for $7,330,736.11 to Alliance Corporation and individual contractors.
