In August, the board voted unanimously to seek a general obligation bond for school facility improvements to be placed on the November 2018 ballot (final amount to be determined). At the November meeting, the board heard presentations from the five firms listed below regarding qualifications for architectural design services related to the Transylvania County Schools master facilities plan. The board may take action to select a firm at this time.
Architectural Design Studio
Boomerang Design
Clark Nexsen
Moseley Architects

Dr. McDaris, Mr. Barger, and the board will discuss next steps.
As a reminder, the Local Government Commission (LGC) recommends a 120-day process for approval for a ballot measure. Each of these steps are required, including public hearings.
- BOE passes resolution and makes a written request to the commissioners.
- Basics of what the bond will cover are clarified.
- County hires bond attorney.
- County applies to the LGC with the costs of the bond.
- LGC approves (assuming).
- Measure is placed on ballot.
- Public hearings and meetings held to promote the bond.
- Measure passes or not at election.
