Construction plans for a new restroom facility at Amherst County Public Schools are on track, with the building expected to be delivered in early November. The school board discussed the timeline during their meeting on October 24, emphasizing the urgency of completing the restrooms before the baseball and softball seasons to avoid reliance on porta potties. The goal is to have the facility weather-tight by December 1, allowing for interior work to commence shortly thereafter.
In addition to construction updates, the board reviewed the September financial report, which showed no significant changes from the previous month. While sales tax figures are being monitored for trends, concerns were raised about overspending in certain budget areas, particularly in professional services and uniforms. Board members expressed interest in understanding the specifics of these expenditures, with assurances that further details would be provided.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the school board's commitment to improving facilities and managing finances effectively, setting the stage for upcoming developments in both construction and budget adjustments.
