DCSD hires new director of Construction and Facilities
The Darlington County School District (DCSD) has hired Jeriot Burr, a longtime local architectural design and construction project manager, to be the district’s director of construction and facilities. The Darlington County Board of Education approved the hire during its October meeting at the district administration’s recommendation. As director of construction and facilities for DCSD, Burr will be charged with providing effective leadership in the planning and implementation of preventative and routine maintenance of the district’s facilities and grounds. He joins the team that will ensure the execution of DCSD’s multi-year capital building program and will act as the primary contact for coordination and oversight of the district’s capital improvement plan funds. Burr brings more than 20 years of experience in managing the design and construction of various building projects in South Carolina and North Carolina. Most recently, working for FBi Construction, he has directly managed the design and/or construction of new facilities, renovations, and addition projects, the overwhelming majority of which fell within the scope of K-12 schools. “Mr. Burr’s wealth of knowledge and experience will be an asset to the district,” said Tim Newman, DCSD superintendent. “I look forward to working with Mr. Burr as we continue to give our students safe and inviting schools and facilities.” Burr holds an Associate of Science in Engineering Technology from Florence-Darlington Technical College. He is a member of the Association of General Contractors, the American Institute of Architects, and the International Building Code Council.
