BoardBladen County Board of Education Regular Meeting
The board meeting primarily focused on addressing water supply and fire sprinkler system requirements for the new Tar Heel School construction project. Several options were presented to meet the necessary 1500 gallons per minute fire flow requirement, including temporary bladder tanks and a more permanent ground-level or elevated water tank solution. The board discussed the financial implications and potential funding sources for these options, including the use of owner contingency funds versus other project budgets. Additionally, the meeting included a public comment session regarding personnel and safety concerns at various schools, as well as an opening invocation and pledge of allegiance.
