Board Update Nov 15, 1999

"What this Board has just decided to do has the possibility to literally revolutionize school construction in Pa.  This is the only board, that I know of, that has taken this to this stage. By doing so, what we have essentially done is open the doorway to removal or the great reduction of the Architect's goal in this....which has been a terrible burden through out the Commonwealth.  I think all of us are to be.......I think we have done a good job."

Bill Adams' comments after the Slippery Rock School Board decided to hire Roger Weaver, architect, to provide an analysis comparing the stick built "Cuteri" (our architect) design and the pre-enginerred "Warner" design for the Har-Mer Elementary School, including an analysis of the cost to completely replacing the Har-Mer building with a brand new metal building.

The following board members voted for this motion:

Brad Smith  John Youngmann  Jim Roberts
Joan Courtney Bill Adams

Eddie Christmann missed the vote

The vote was unanimous.

It was only 2 weeks ago, during a packed house of Har-Mer parents, that Watson, on the request of Duryea, assured the Har-Mer parents that this board was not considering doing anything at Har-Mer that was not on parity with the rest of the district buildings.

Watson and Duryea were not present for this vote that "has the possibility to literally revolutionize school construction in Pa."

Go figure.............
