The Mt. Lebanon school board appeared to reach a consensus last night in eliminating three of the five building alternatives for a proposed new senior high school.
With residents and some directors alike referring to options 1 and 1A as "band-aids," it is unlikely the board will pursue a simple renovation (projected cost: $103.2 million) of the existing six-building complex. The 1A alternative ($123.9 million) calls for renovation of the existing 545,255 square feet, as well as the "reinventing" of Building C, a large addition around the back of the school.
The seven board members present also appeared to dismiss Alternative 2A ($156.3 million). Existing fine and performing arts areas would be renovated, but the rest of the high school would be built anew. This option is only $1.6 million less than building an entire, new complex.
