Roofing repairs at four more schools were approved by trustees on Tuesday, May 24, as the Avon Maitland District School Board continued to use up its portion of the provincial government’s recently- announced Good Places to Learn funding initiative. Smith Peat Roofing submitted the successful low bid for three of the four tendered contracts: Sprucedale Public School in Shakespeare, Stratford Central Secondary School and Stratford Northwestern Secondary School. The contract for the other project — North Easthope Public School near Amulree — was awarded to Wm. Green Roofing. “We have $1,060,000 in roofing tenders for your approval tonight,’’ explained business superintendent Janet Baird-Jackson, prior to the trustee vote. At North Easthope, resurfacing will take place over the entire roof, at an approximate cost of $282,000. At Sprucedale, meanwhile, the portion above the entranceway was excluded from the contract but the rest of the roof will be repaired. The projected cost there is about $258,000. Only a portion of each secondary school roof will be repaired. At Stratford Central, part of the 1958 wing and the gymnasium will be resurfaced, at an approximate cost of $243,000. And at Northwestern, the two- storey section above the school’s offices will be repaired, costing about $277,000. All work is expected to be carried out over the summer months. _ Come join us for the Cete&iatiart for Saturday, June 4 1:00 to 4:00 Blyth Public School auditorium Welcome Steal uuaAea only.
