Bond project on schedule
Onaway Superintendent of Schools Bob Szymoniak told the members of the board of education that the bond project is on schedule. He said all the architectural drawings are now complete and the groundbreaking is set for June 9.
“There is a need to scale back the project from the original design, due to a combination of declining enrollement, unpredictable school funding from the state, and unanticipated design problems,” he said.
Invitations to bid on the project will be advertised in the Onaway Outlook, Presque Isle County Advance, and trade journals.
Work to be done this summer includes replacing floor tile and installing new cabinets in Millersburg and Onaway classrooms. Other improvemnts include replacing some exterior windows, replacing damaged brick, installation of a new clock system and work on the parking lot.
The board will be selling two portable classroooms. Sealed bids are due at the school office by May 8.
