The Center ISD Board of Trustees voted to move forward with five renovation and construction projects, most being at the Malone Street campuses during their meeting Thursday.

The stipulation is that they not exceed 50 percent of the construction fund balance, or around $3 million.

Superintendent Dr. James Hockenberry said the recommendations presented were given a lot of thought based on a 2013 Master Plan and the recent athletic facilities report and conversations.

He said the overall goal of this project is that it fits into a larger master plan for Center ISD’s future.

The five projects include renovation of the intermediate and middle school gyms, including new bleachers; upgrading the scoreboards in the middle school and intermediate school gyms, as those at the high school gym and Roughrider Stadium; consideration for adding tennis courts and looking at renovating high school stadium field house and normal summer projects such as HVAC and flooring.

The board is hoping a majority of the projects are possibly ready by the start of the new school year.

Also, at Thursday’s meeting, trustees gave Hockenberry permission to solicit proposals to relocate the school district transportation facility and operations center.

The board also approved to extend the depository contract with Shelby Savings Bank.
