The Christian County School Board approved construction change orders for the consolidated Christian County High School and a new parent and guardian contact platform at their Thursday meeting which ended with one board member announcing their resignation.
School District Communications Director, Johnna Brown shared that the board approved four construction change orders. Change order 16 was the only construction change to result in an expense which was to add a structural support beam to area G of school.
The other three change orders resulted in credits. Change orders 15 and 17 concerned the removal of a heat trace system to the school’s kitchen plan and change order 18 concerned revisions to a walk-in freezer.
Brown says the Board also voted to start using ParentSquare which is a communication system that helps educators reach student’s parents and guardians. Brown says currently there are multiple communication platforms being used at different district schools and ParentSquare will be implemented at all schools.
Beyond just communicating with teachers, Brown says parents and guardians will be able to message coaches and bus drivers through ParentSquare, and the platform will also have an app.
At the end of the meeting, Brown shared that now former District One Representative Jeff Moore, who has served on the board since 2018, announced his resignation. The Christian County School Board will have a special called meeting on Tuesday to discuss and vote on advertising the vacancy.
