The school board also vot- ed to start two roofing proj- ects, one at Pike Central for the lower A wing and the other for a section of roofing over the kitchen and boiler areas of the Petersburg El- ementary School. The cost of the projects is $73,053 for Pike Central and $5,883 for Petersburg. A $ 35,000 project to paint the Pike Central gym while the old bleachers are re- moved and before new bleachers are installed was rejected. Board president Steve Potter had moved to award the contract. "We are going to have the bleachers out then. That is time to get that taken care of it," said Potter. Board member McKin- ney asked if the project had been bid. Blake said it had not been bid. She said they had requested quotes and only one firm was interest- ed in it. "I think a project of this size needs to be bid," said McKinney. Potter's motion died for lack of a second. McKinney then moved to bid the proj- ect and the board voted in favor of bidding the project.
