Consultants reviewed fees of the $68 million renovation of schools for commissioners, but their report is not public. One School Board member says it's part of a larger pattern of poor communication.
After the voters approved the 68mm school bond in Nov. of 2018 the Transylvania County Board of Education had the responsibility to secure design/build contracts to present to the County Commission for funding. Then, the hiring of a CMAR (Construction Manager At Risk) was decided would be the best way to avoid “surprises” for the project.
From early April of 2019 to COVID shut down in mid March of 2020 what was accomplished?
What was not accomplished?
If only action had taken place prior to COVID, and the absurd increases in building costs, this would not be an ongoing failure.
There appears to be a long period of time of inaction on the part of the school board and the county.
Both entities have failed the voters, students and teachers in this county.
