About

a third of Fayette County's schools are

undergoing a summer spruce-up with fresh coats of

paint and new carpeting being rolled out in

preparation for the start of school Aug. 16.

According

to school facilities director Mike Satterfield,

work is almost complete at the seven facilities

scheduled for painting which include Fayette

Middle, Whitewater Middle, Building D at the

Lafayette Educational Center, (old Fayette County

High School), Spring Hill Elementary, Kedron

Elementary, Fayette Primary and Fayette

Intermediate.

Total

cost of the project is $136,750.94, which was

budgeted in the fiscal year 2000 10-year capital

program for $199,268.

Four

buildings, including Whitewater Middle, Fayette

Middle and the C and D buildings at the Lafayette

Center also are receiving new carpet. Total

project cost is $127,825.83 and is covered under

the 10-year facilities plan.

Additional

work at county schools includes roofing on the A

and B buildings at the Lafayette Center, grading

the new athletic practice fields at McIntosh

High, grading the site for the Starr's Mill High

stadium, and construction of 18 new classrooms at

Flat Rock Middle. Satterfield said he anticipates

an early October completion date for the Flat
