The Sewickley Borough Council approved the Quaker Valley Middle School renovation project at their December 20th meeting. The borough council members considered the previous recommendation and approval of both the planning commission and zoning hearing board. The final borough council vote for approval was unanimous.
“We are pleased to have the approval of the borough as we move forward with this project. We appreciate the time and the consideration all the borough’s committees and council members gave this project. We know the result will be a much improved educational facility that will be an asset to our district and the community,” Superintendent Joseph H. Clapper, D.Ed. said.
The next step in the approval process is the Act 34 public hearing regarding Quaker Valley Middle School to be conducted at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 21, 2010, in the auditorium of the Quaker Valley Middle School.
The Act 34 hearing is a requirement under Pennsylvania law, which requires school districts engaging in significant new construction projects to hold a public hearing in order to be eligible to for state funding for the project.
