With all the negative stimuli from peer pressure, we'll lose our children in a larger school, no matter what we do at home.” * Her husband, Craig, added that breaking up neighborhood schools also causes the community to break away from the school. “Parents feel more like a num- ber in a larger school,” he said. oh “You put too many children in the’ same age together and you énd up with confusion and disci- pline problems,” said Beverly tzena. - “Parents must give more input on these things,” said Carol Hadsall. “We need more public meetings to discuss them with the bodrd.” in ‘Pennsylvania, we must main- tain the quality of education in the public schools,” said Ellen Smith, adding that she had gone to averylarge school in New York. “It was like a factory. I'm glad my daughter has the opportunity to attend a smaller school where she knows all the other students.” ‘PTO’ vice-president Maggie VanKtiyk said she isn't opposed to relocating the students to a new building if Westmoreland can't bé brought up to codes and standards. But she wants the Westmoreland children in a sepa- rate school, which will maintain the close atmosphere for both students and teachers. “I was pleased to see a school designed 'in line with the current research in education byone firm's educational consultant,” said Chapter I teacher Rita Mundy, who is studying for her doctorate at Temple University. “The em- phasis.now is on the family, with smaller schools housing several grade’ “levels, similar to what we have already.” Forman and Bashford of ‘Manheim, PA was the only firm to offer an' estimate of how much different school renovation proj- ects would cost the district. Their first option is to add 19 classrooms, an office, two teach- ers’ rooms, a multi-purpose room, a music room, an art room and a : separate’ library to the middle school ‘where the present garage and loading dock are located. The entire project would cost or $4, 435,412, according to repre- se tative Phillip G. Foreman. timated state reimbursement for: construction (would . be . 45 percent, or approximately $2,687,100, he said. An alternate which calls for the addition of a new administrative office to the middle school's Co- nyngham Ave. end, would add $846,400 to the tab, with $102,000 reimbursed by the state. The second option is to build a separate new elementary build- ing with an estimated total cost of $5,5016,760, with 39 percent of the cost ($2,687,100) reimbursed by the state, Foreman said. The third option is to renovate Westmoreland, adding an eleva- tor, moving the library to the first floor, upgrading stairwells and bringing the 60-year-old building into compliance with all building codes. Although it's the cheapest, the estimated $2,852,500 project would also require special vari- ances from the state Department of Education if the building has a wooden frame, Foreman said. The state would reimburse 43 per- cent, or an estimated $1,743,300 of the renovations unless the building has wood joists, which disqualify it from any state reim- bursements. “The state doesn't like to reim- burse districts for renovations if they cost more than 60 percent of the building's replacement value,” Foreman said. “The state would rather see you build new schools.” A fourth option calls for exten- sive renovations to the middle school, which would also be en- larged to house grades four through eight and the admini- stration’s offices. It would cost an estimated $12,181,812, of which $7,479,900 would be reimbursed by the state, Foreman said. The other four firms, Quad Three Groups of Wilkes-Barre, EI Associates of Harrisburg, Gilbert Architects of Lancaster and GSGSBH of Clarks Summit, also offered ideas to develop the va- cant area behind the high school into baseball and soccer fields, but didn’t provide any cost esti- mates for either the fields or build- ing renovations. They prefer to wait until a district-wide feasibil- ity study has been done, they said. While Westmoreland presents structural and traffic problems, its historic character must also be considered, noted Paul Degliioa} of Quad Three Groups, Dallas mentary's structure — modu units with a brick veneer Oe more classrooms added — must also be considered, he added.
