By KYLIE SHAFFERKOETTER Post Staff DALLAS - At Monday nights regular meeting, the Dallas School Board unanimously approved an additional hockey /soccer field to be built behind the Senior High adjacent to two relocated hockey/ soccer and baseball fields. The additional field will cost $107,000, making the total bill for all three fields $337,000. The additional field is not included for reimbursement by the state, but is already accounted for in the $8.6 million construction costs for the new Gerald J. Wycallis Elementary School. “The new fields are fine. They are something that are needed,” said Ernest Ashbridge, board president. “By incorporating three fields (behind the Senior High), we get the most use out of the land.” The board also approved the addition of locker and toilet rooms to be put into the gymnasium in the new elementary school at a cost of $70,000. “The locker rooms are a neces- sity. With the larger gym, it would be ridiculous not to incorporate locker/shower rooms,” said Ashbridge. By submitting project costs and design development to the state department of education, the board is staying on schedule with the new school. Michael Speziale, the new as- sistant superintendent, was sworn into office by county judge Mark Ciavarella. Speziale said he looks forward to the challenges the job Board gives final okay has to offer.

Speziale was previously an assistant professor at College Misericordia and spent many years with the Luzerne County Intermediate Unit. Ashbridge said he was unaware any communication from board member Reese Finn, who has re- portedly moved to North Caro- lina. If Finn resigns from the board before Sept. 4, individuals will be able to petition for a spot on the November ballot, but if he waits until after that date the board will appoint a replacement.

Exterior and perimeter de- tectors, motion detectors and fire alarm systems were among the options discussed. Box said the company provides a variety of combinations to meet the needs of the building. “The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the different types of security systems and fire alarms for the new building,” explained Box. “There was no final decision - on the type of system to be in-' stalled.” Box said the technology available is quite amazing. - v ) \ Construction of the new mu- - nicipal building is in progress on | E.
