The Collierville School Board approved a package of procurement and construction items on April 30, awarding resurfacing work at Kyrell Elementary, purchasing classroom furniture for Crossland Elementary and approving a final guaranteed maximum price for an addition and renovation at Crosswind Elementary.
Procurement staff described the recommended award for parking‑lot resurfacing at Kyrell Elementary — work that includes the bus drive, visitor parking and the lot bordering Burrows Road — and recommended Fawcett Paving to perform full resurfacing and subsurface patching. "This is for parking lot resurfacing at Kyrell Elementary...and we recommend award to Fawcett Pate," staff reported to the board.
The board also approved a recommended purchase of 480 student desks for grades 3–5 at Crossland Elementary with a recommended award to Knowledge Tree. Separately, staff presented the final GMP from Chris Woods Construction for a 13‑classroom addition, restroom renovations and full sprinkler installation at Crosswind Elementary; the board moved and approved that GMP.
Each item was moved, seconded and approved by roll call during the business agenda. Board members did not add substantive changes to the recommended contracts during the meeting.
Why it matters: These actions advance planned capital and maintenance work intended to address capacity and safety (sprinkler installation) and to refresh classroom furniture and surfaces across district campuses. The GMP approval moves the Crosswind project into contract execution and construction procurement phases.
