The Kentucky Department of Education will soon be looking over the four-year Christian County Public School District Facilities Plan, after a draft plan was approved Monday night by the Local Planning Committee. Architect Keith Sharp outlined the suggested plan for the committee, which includes two labels for schools.
He says also included, as unmet need, are renovations to 11 buildings.
In all the plan lists almost 130-million dollars in unmet need in the district, which Sharp says will help the state allocate funding for the district over the next few years. LPC member and District Financial Officer, Jessica Darnell says the district already has several outstanding bonds.a
For this reason she supported, Sharp's proposal to leave the Priority 1 category, which would be projects that had to be completed in the next two years, empty. She says although the district could have a large bonding potential is important to remember unexpected things happen.
The draft district facilities plan will now go to KDE for approval and then the LPC will have to send it to the Christian County Board of Education for approval and adoption as the new four-year vision for the district. Superintendent Mary Ann Gemmill says she is excited the LPC is choosing to place everything in the Priority 2 category because it will allow the School Board flexibility going forward, since the items will be able to be finished in whatever order suits the board members.
