myFutureNC (MFNC), a new statewide commission with a focus on improving educational attainment and economic opportunities for all North Carolinians, held a listening session at Randolph Community College on July 18 in the JB and Claire Davis Corporate Training Center.
About 50 people attended the event, which included focus groups and a panel discussion by educational leaders from the local area. The commission’s work is underwritten by grants from the John M. Belk Endowment, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Goodnight Education Foundation. RCC President Robert Shackleford and Gus Agudelo, a member of the Asheboro City School Board of Education since 2011 and a myFutureNC commissioner, were the local hosts for the event.
The listening sessions were designed to hear from communities about what they perceive as their region’s economic strengths and identify the educational opportunities that are most needed to capitalize on those strengths. The July 18 session was the last of nine sessions held around the state.

RCC Board of Trustees Approves General Contractor for Allied Health Center
Randolph Community College’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved the general contractor for the $14.5 million Allied Health Center during its regular meeting on Thursday, July 19, held in the Martha Luck Comer Conference Center on the Asheboro Campus.
Clancy & Theys Construction Company from Charlotte was the low bidder with a final construction price of $10,929,762 and was recommended to the Board of Trustees by the architect, Little Diversified Architectural Consulting. An alternate contractor was approved by the Board in the unlikely event that the College and State Construction Office cannot negotiate a contract with the first bidder — the second lowest bidder was WC Construction of Winston-Salem.
The bid opening was held on July 12, and six complete bids were received. The College postponed a planned groundbreaking earlier this year because not enough bids had been received. A new date for the groundbreaking is expected to be announced soon.
