What happened

A Board packet requests authority to negotiate a contract for a South Aiken High addition and renovation with a $64,974,915 total budget.

Why it matters to families

The proposal would be a major campus investment using 2024 1% sales-tax funds, but the reviewed record does not establish a contract award, construction start, or disruption.

The evidence

The August construction-documents and GMP item lists the construction and total budget and requests negotiation authority.
