A special meeting scheduled to discuss the upcoming Shannock Valley Elementary renovation project has been delayed.
A special public meeting to discuss upcoming renovations at Shannock Valley Elementary in Rural Valley has been rescheduled until next week.
Armstrong School District Finances and Operations Director Sam Kirk originally set the meeting for this Thursday evening at West Hills Intermediate School in East Franklin Township, but a special meeting notice emailed to media officials Monday changed the special meeting to 6PM March 2 at the same location.
Last month, Reynolds Building Solutions Project Development Director Michael Conchilla updated Armstrong School District board members on the approximately-$10.5 million project and bids from potential contractors are due back next week.
“At that point, we’ll know what that project is going to cost us,” Kirk said earlier this month. “Construction will then start as soon as school is out.”
The project is to provide several energy-saving renovations – including to the electrical and plumbing systems and to the kitchen.
Limited construction at Shannock Valley Elementary is to begin the second weekend of April during Spring Break.
