A construction and renovation project at the Senior High School property will have to wait a bit longer for final approval from the Butler Township Commissioners.
Following a presentation by representatives of the Butler Area School District and architectural contractor, the Commissioners decided to table land development plans including more classroom space as well as locker room renovations.
The classroom addition project would be constructed at the current site of the covered walkway near the Vo-Tech and include STEM space, a large group instruction area and a connection to the 300 wing. This space is needed for reorganization that would see 9th grade students shifted to the Senior High.
The delay is to allow for additional analysis of a couple of issues including the property line shared with the Vo-Tech as well as plans to address the flow of storm water. The district received bids last week and the project is expected to take about one year to complete.
The Commissioners will next consider giving final approval to this project at their meeting August 2nd.
