Most of the flooring at Lassiter High School will be replaced following the approval of a construction contract Thursday by the Cobb Board of Education.
The board approved a contract bid to Mid Atlantic Renovation, Inc. of Norcross for $2.347 million to replace most of the flooring in classrooms, hallways and other common areas.
The new Lassiter gym and other areas of the school with specialty floors are not part of the project.
It’s an earmarked project in the current Cobb Education SPLOST IV. During a school board work session Thursday, Cobb school district officials said the renovation is scheduled to be completed in July.
The district will spend $1.2 million in SPLOST IV funds for a concession/restroom renovation and completion project. That’s also slated to be completed in July.
The Thursday meetings were the last for outgoing school board members Charisse Davis and Jaha Howard, who did not seek re-election.
Although board members are not permitted to make public comments at board meetings, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale thanked the both of them.
“I appreciate the sacrifice that both of you made,” he said.
They received plaques at their desks, as did chairman David Chastain, who presided over the last meeting of the 2022 year on Thursday.
New board officers will be chosen in January.
