Design West Architecture approved for Elementary School roof project

POMEROY–The local School District approved a manager for the elementary roof project, decided to purchase a new bus, and passed a resolution at their meeting on April 24.

The elementary roof project will be managed by Design West Architecture. Design West will create plans and design work, as well as management. The board will pay Design West $31,000. The roof renovation is estimated to cost between $260,000 and $310,000, and will go out to bid soon.

The board approved a quote of $161,000 for the purchase of a new school bus. The funds will come out of the transportation vehicle fund, and will not impact the capital levy or the general expense fund.

Resolution No. 311, which approves the District’s Washington Interscholastic Activities Association membership, was also approved, as well as the 2023 Senior Class’s letter requesting permission to have five days off from school following graduation, as long as conditions are followed.
