Options were discussed for moving forward with a plan for the replacement of the Frankstown garage, which was sold to Frankstown Township.

Option 1:  Continue with original plan constructing a 40 x 100 pole building at the SH near the baseball field.  
Option 2:  Construct a building that would fit within that original budget of $185,000 using the same location.  
Option 3:  Make use of current space within the district.  This option would require additional storage buildings at the SH and the JH and would include replacing and adding equipment while staying within the original proposed budget of $185,000Breakdown of Option 3
The committee discussed the three options and agreed to move forward with putting out a bid for Option 1.

Charles W. Longer Elementary Multi-Purpose Room Divider
The divider wasn’t operating at the start of the school year, but has been worked on and is recommended that it be used minimally.  It was recommended to replace the entire track and panels at an estimated cost of $67,000.

The committee summarized the discussion topics and agree on the proposed recommendations.
