The Cornwall-Lebanon school board unanimously approved the payment of $3,806,230.56 in Cedar Crest Campus Renovations Fund bills at its monthly meeting Monday, along with several change orders for ongoing renovations.
Renovations are in progress at the high school, with some areas complete or nearly complete. Renovations to Earl Boltz Stadium are nearly finished save for punch list items, the board heard at its work session earlier this month.

The board approved a $12,902.07 change order for the high school project from Lobar and a $2,272 change order from NCI Construction for the stadium project.
Also for the stadium, change orders for McCarty & Son and Myco Mechanical of $1,233.33 each were approved for DOAS, or dedicated outdoor air system, remediation with NCI Construction, which was approved for another change order reducing its cost by $2,466.66. These changes balance out to $0.
The board also heard that the Lebanon County Career and Technology Center articles of agreement have not been approved as written due to lack of approval from Lebanon School District, and that Lebanon School District will likely decide whether to withdraw from the CTC in December after hearing from taxpayers.

Cornwall-Lebanon CTC representative and school board president Ruth Ann Schlegel said the board will discuss the matter further at its public work session Oct. 12.
“It definitely impacts the budget, and having five districts involved is certainly going to impact the district more than having six,” said Schlegel. “So it’s a big decision that we all have to take very seriously and there’s a lot at stake for our students.”
