The Polk County Board of Education met Monday evening at Polk County High School, approving a project regarding bathrooms in the Chilhowee Middle School gymnasium.
They also approved revision to the Chilhowee Middle School handbook, the consent agenda, appointed two board members to the school system’s Sick Leave Bank, and approved plans for Copper Basin Elementary School’s annual student trip to Washington, D.C.
Director of Schools Dr. James Jones was pointedly graphic concerning the bathrooms in the middle school gymnasium.
He apologized for bringing a non-budgeted item to the board, but said the school system’s fund balance should be able to fund the project.
He said they have been bombarded with E-Mails about the conditions of the bathrooms, stating they’re the same bathrooms they had used when they attended school there 40 years ago, and that the bathrooms were really not usable. He stated that urinals are leaking, hand dryers are not working, and that water has seeped into the fixtures and the floor.
Jones said he and other staff members are in the process of obtaining estimates on the cost of the repairs to upgrade the three bathrooms, and plans to bring those estimates to the board.
