SCHEME Continued from Page 1 sky was ordered to repay was placed into an escrow account, and that any unclaimed money as a result of the recovery endeavor will be used to cover test costs for financially-strapped students. Also at the meeting, the board voted to retain the services of at- torney John Dean from the El- liott Greenleaf law firm based in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area for an upcoming Dallas Town- ship zoning board hearing. Dean was utilized in the Feb. 9 earing against a natural gas mpressor station proposed by e- Gathering LLC to be built about 1,100 feet away from the Dallas campus. { Dean will be present, in place of district solicitor Benjamin Jones, at the upcoming April 4 hearing to be held at the Dallas Middle School to represent the district’s opposition of a meter- ing facility to be built off Hilde- brandt Road near the schools. | Galicki also told parents that an automated phone call will be made to parents prior to the zon- ing hearing to remind them of the date. The board also heard a present- ation from Chris Gillis, a Dallas High School graduate of the class of 1977, for a request t6 hold an all-class reunion, beginning with the class of 1962, to commemo- rate the tearing down of the high school this summer. Gillis told the board that a committee has been formed to schedule the events, and as many as 300 people have confirmed in- terest in attending the Memorial Day weekend fete called “Tearin’ It Up for the Teardown.” Ideas for events include a mu- sic festival, a tour of the new and old high school buildings, an auc- tion of Dallas memorabilia, a onfire and other celebratory actions. Gillis asked the board for tentative approval in order for the committee to continue plan- ning the event. Galicki told Gillis how much he appreciated the work involved in organizing such a reunion, but said the district had many liabil- ity concerns. Buildings and grounds manag- er Mark Kraynack listed several complications to the proposed event, including proposed out- side asbestos removal scheduled for May 16, which will be con- ducted during evenings and weekends to avoid contact with students. Kraynack also said things will begin to be moved from the old building to the new building dur- ing that time, and the district em- ployees required to be present at such an event would need to be . paid triple time due to the holi- day and weekend rates. Board member Gary Mathers also said discussions with the general contractor resulted in a negative answer for Gillis’ re- quest as it pertained to tours of the new and old buildings. “The contractors just said no way, and I'm sorry but I have to support them,” said Mathers. & ’m getting a lot of static at home a bout this because I have a wife and daughter who graduated from Dallas, but the needs of the school district have to come first.” While board member Dennis Gochoel Jr. said he did not see a problem with presenting small, scheduled tours to the public, Gillis asked to withdraw his re- quest to utilize school grounds for the event due to the rest of the board’s response. An update of the high school “I'm getting a lot of static at home about this because | have a wife and daughter who graduated from Dallas, but the needs of the school district have to come first.” Gary Mathers School Board member on declining "Tearin' It Up for the Teardown’ construction project also hinder- ed Gillis’ plans — Bob Nesbit of Crabtree Rohrbaugh and Associ- ates said the project is tracking about three weeks, or 15 days, be- hind schedule. Nesbit told the board that the project was just one week behind at last month’s board meeting. “Truthfully, I don’t think the general contractor was being to- tally honest with us,” said Nebsit. He said the biggest setback was glazing involved with the windows, and that a subcontrac- tor was not cooperating. Four change orders were ap- proved by the board, totaling $10,251. Board member Russell Bigus assured the public that change orders involving errors and omissions will be reim- bursed to the district at a later date. *~ In other news... ¢ Four longtime employees of the district were approved for re- tirement.
