The May 26, 2022 Board adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes funding for a new T. M. Peirce Elementary School to include procurement of furniture and equipment. Prior to implementation of the approved budgeted line items, separate action of the Board of Education is sought. The newly constructed 77,000 square foot building will receive new furniture and technology in order to create collaborative and modern learning spaces and provide occupants with a complete and useable facility. Furniture will be procured from vendors who are a part of the competitively bid Pennsylvania Commonwealth Cooperative Programs, which provides favorable pricing.
