Chairman Rick Burgess raised a question about the purchase and sale agreement with TriCounty Community Action Program for the old elementary school. One condition of the agreement was that TCCAP demonstrate by the end of 2006 that it had sufficient funds to renovate the building. In October, the agency, which wishes to use the building for Headstart and other community service programs, presented a list of its funding sources to the school board, including a $300,000 grant from the state's LCHIP program. Burgess said that he had talked on the day of the school board meeting to LCHIP officials and that they told him the award still needed to undergo a final internal review. He therefore suggested that, even though LCHIP has been holding the $300,000 for the Ashland school project since 2001, the state agency might still not give it to TCCAP. He felt that the purchase and sales agreement therefore could be invalid and might have to be renegotiated. The board decided to wait until its next meeting before considering the issue further.
