The projects include construction, electrical and mechanical upgrades to buildings throughout the district. Originally scheduled for this summer and now postponed for 2010 were $650,000 worth of projects for Shohola Elementary School, which includes cafeteria floor replacement, heating/ventilation/air conditioning upgrades, roof construction and television distribution system upgrades. Also scheduled were upgrades to exterior lighting and stage lighting at Delaware Valley High School.
Board member Diane French said she was concerned if waiting to complete these projects would increase their cost in the long run, but Eversdyke said there is no urgency to complete them, especially with the economic recession.
BFA committee chair Ed Silverstone and business administrator Bill Hessling also discussed debt service and tax collector compensation, which the board will likely vote on next week.

Ryan,
Thanks for posting the handouts and the audio. I missed this meeting due to scheduling conflicts. I could not even watch from the middle school as the district does simulcast work sessions or committee meetings. I look forward to the day when the district realizes that transparency is a cheap and good thing.
You're welcome.
I was disappointed because I was told videoconferencing/webcasting would be discussed at the BFA meeting. I had posed the question at the last meeting about how much the current setup is costing the district, and e-mailed it to the board, and received no answer, other than it would be discussed at this past week's meeting.
