Funding options eyed to repair Bessie Jeffries School
The Warren County Public Schools Building Review Committee reviewed how to fund Bessie Jeffries Elementary improvements using surplus from the new middle school, $110,000 from Water Street property sale, and a $400,000 half cent tax increase totaling about $2.5 million. Plans consider replacing heating, cooling, ceilings, floors, LED lighting shortfalls, plus a leak-free roof and secure entrance. A pitched roof with a 60 year warranty would cost $1.8 to $2.4 million and the entrance about $450,000, with financing over 20 years.

Energy retrofit plan aims for savings across Virginia schools
Sheppard outlined a project with Ameresco as general contractor for $8.6 million in energy conservation measures funded by Virginia Resources Authority loans. An $25,000 design fee and over 18 years of loan repayment would be covered by reduced utility costs. LED lighting and HVAC upgrades at all schools would save about $109,000 and $77,000 annually, with water cost cuts from low-flow fixtures and irrigation wells for Skyline and Warren County High Schools. Savings could fund HVAC updates at Bessie Jeffries Elementary School.
