POTTSTOWN, PA — A $1.2 million price tag seems to be a little too high for school officials to bear and the school board is being asked Monday to reject the bid to replace the roof at Rupert Elementary School along with some masonry work.
The concern about costs comes as the board is poised to approved more than $225,000 in unbudgeted expense for the construction work at Lincoln, Franklin and Rupert elementary schools.
Instead of accepting the $1.2 million roof bid, the administration is urging that other ways of getting the work done be pursued.
“It’s not that we’re not going to do it,” said Business Manager Linda Adams, “it’s just that we think that price is too high.”
