Lebo Learns Price Estimate For New School Is Rising

If the Mt. Lebanon School District wants to fix its aging high school, anything beyond repairs, asbestos abatement and mechanical work likely will require a seldom-tried voter referendum.

Construction managers delivered revised price tags Wednesday night for renovating or replacing the school. Preliminary costs came in higher than architect's estimates in June.

State law requires voters to approve borrowing anything more than 225 percent of the district's last three years of revenue. In Mt. Lebanon, that amounts to about $110 million, said Superintendent John Allison.
