Fall Schedule for Main Campus now online at or call 1-800-377-5222, New press box will go out for bid By ELIZABETH ANDERSON Post Correspondent LEHMAN TWP. — Lake- Lehman board members were not buying into proposals for expensive additions to the high school athletic fields without a heated word or two, but the new track and field lighting and press box will go out for bid anyway. Lake-Lehman School Board member Lois Kopcha called the request for field and track light- ing “asinine” while director Charles Balavage questioned the legality of a $50,000 change order for a press box for the new track and athletic field at the July 25 meeting. “That is a $50,000 change or- der,” Balavage said. “That is a brand new press box from the ground up. It should have been seen with the original project and it should have been bid.” Referring to the change order designation, Balavage added, “That's a pretty slick way around something if you ask me.” “I think it falls within the context of what this project is all about,” replied Douglas Trumbower, the architect on the high school construction /renovation pro- ject. Students of the district built the old press box years ago, an act Trumbower said was illegal. The wooden build- ing was rotting and dilapidated. The new proposed press box was to have been a two-story concrete box with rubber roof to take photos or call games from. “I would also like to see this bid out,” agreed board member Angelo DeCesaris. “I'm a little concerned with the cost of $50,000.” DeCesaris said he was not against the press box and recognized the need for one, but did not understand why it had not been addressed sooner. “I also understand that by not voting on this tonight we might not have “a press box’ for “this- football season,” he said. “As a board we're constantly with our backs against the wall to make decisions to get things done and I dislike this position.” DeCesaris asked that some sort of elevated structure be in- stalled for filming of the games until a press box could be built. The board decided to table the press box as a change order and have the architect develop specifications for a two-story concrete box press box and put it out for bid along with the track and field lighting, another controversial expenditure. “Are we running a school or a sports complex here?” asked board member Lois Kopcha. “This is big — for college and like that. We are just a little school out here.

(A new press box.) It’s criminal, in my opinion.” Lois Kopcha School Directar nine. For the people here, it is just a slap in the face. People can hardly pay their taxes and we go and have things like this. It’s criminal, in my opinion.” The motion carried ina 5 to 3 vote. In other business: e DeCesaris reported the Northeast Pennsylvania Health Trust extended the deadline for notification of the school dis- trict’s desire to withdraw from the health trust to August 31. On July 8, business manager Kathleen Williams sent a letter to the director of the trust ad- vising that the district may withdraw from the trust effec- tive July 1, 2003 “unless rate equalization and cost contain- ment is implemented fairly as of that date,” but the letter missed the June 30 deadline. The trust reserves the right to say that the letter was late, but will take it under advisement at this time, said DeCesaris. “I think we ought to put something on the work session agenda to at least begin to look at this.” He also asked that Williams provide evidence to ex- plain why she feels the district should withdraw so the board can make its decision. e Michael Robinson of Hat- boro and Patrick Stanley of -~ Center Valley have been ap- pointed secondary music teacher and elementary music teacher respectively, each at a salary of $29,853. Robinson was also appointed marching band director ‘at a salary of $4,773 and concert band direc- tor at $1,384. Stanley was ap- pointed assistant band director at $1,279. e The board appointed Charles Coslett as the new school district solicitor for the 2002-2003 fiscal year with an- nual compensation of $12,000 . with no benefits and an hourly rate of $65 per hour. The con- tract of Peter Savage, the previ- ous solicitor, has expired. The next regular committee- of-the-whole-meeting will be held on August 6 at 7 p.m. The next regular meeting will be held August 20 at 7 p.m. Both meeting will be in the music room of the Lehman-Jackson Elementary School.
