Penn Yan middle school needs a new roof

PENN YAN—Penn Yan Superintendent David Hamilton said he received a report back from the architects who did the first thorough investigation of the middle school roof, during the Penn Yan school board meeting Wednesday, Jan. 15. He said the district does need to replace the middle school roof, but the architects think they can push it off until 2015 if some repairs are done this year. Hamilton said if the district can push it into 2015, they can put it in a regular capital bond project with state aid, and with some patching work done out of reserve repair funds. He said the architects will attend the Feb. 12 school board meeting to present the board with more information on possible action
