Old Business Information
- Washington School: Dr. Boryszewski stated that the District is having trouble getting Com Ed to turn off power to the old building. Mr. Maranto and Mr. Deany have been in touch with them since February. Ms. Kartsimas has a contact at Com Ed, and the District is doing everything in their power to move forward. They have not been told that this will delay the completion of the demolition by the beginning of the school year in August, but that is a possibility. Dr.Boryszewski said that they remain optimistic.
