District schedules classroom flooring replacements at two elementary schools

The district presented two classroom‑flooring replacement projects on Sept. 8: Weddington Hills Elementary (classroom phase) and Cox Mill Elementary (classrooms), following prior summer work on school common areas. Facilities staff said both projects were funded through the capital budget and use a state contract vendor for Mohawk flooring products. They described the product as a no‑wax floor with a long manufacturer warranty and said custodial staff at schools that received new floors earlier in the summer reported lower labor requirements for maintenance. Board members asked about scheduling and logistics; facilities said most classroom work will be done over breaks, evenings or weekends where needed, and that the district coordinates moving classroom materials with central staff to minimize disruption. The contractor warranty for flooring installation was described as 20 years for product warranties, while installation warranties are as specified in the contract. Trustees signaled consent support for the projects and asked staff to coordinate timing to avoid disrupting instruction.
