Greenwood Leflore Schools Signs Contract for New High School Construction
The district has signed a construction contract to begin building its new high school, according to remarks at a September 30 work session.
At the meeting, the board chair turned the agenda over to item three, and the speaker who continued, identified in meeting records as Superintendent Kenneth Pulley, told the board, "On Monday, we did sign the contract agreement between the school district and the contractor so that they can officially begin work." The remarks came during the Superintendent's Report and New High School Updates portion of the work session. No further details on the contractor or project were offered in that part of the session.
The contractor's identity and the total value of the contract were not stated in open session. The signing marks the formal start of construction spending on the new high school, one of the largest capital commitments a Mississippi school district can undertake. Residents following the district's finances and the building project will likely want those figures, along with confirmation of who signed on the district's behalf, before construction visibly begins.
