Staff Attorney Aimee Scotton; Amanda Varner, Clerk to the Board; Dana Crisco, Deputy Clerk
to the Board; and members of the Asheboro City Board of Education and school officials,

Mr. Mize provided a power point presentation and gave updates on current maintenance
emergencies and issues due to the age of systems and facilities. The priorities for 2018
renovations are the kitchens at both McCrary and Lindley Park Elementary Schools. Windows
would be replaced at McCrary Elementary as well. Some roofing replacements would occur on
aging roofs where needed.
Smith-Sinnett Architects gave a presentation showing the preliminary designs for an addition
and needed updates to Asheboro High School. This recommendation would bring the interior of
the building to current code and increase the number of classrooms. The two-story addition they
proposed would include a multi-purpose area, a larger area for band classrooms and storage,
science labs, and flex classrooms.
Chairman Allen thanked the Board of Education for their updates and hospitality.
