Upgrade proposed for Franklin Regional Middle School locker rooms

Dennis Majewski was in the Franklin Regional Middle School boys' locker room with a school alumnus recently, when he found out just how out of date it is.

He was able to point out everything in the room because literally nothing had changed, said Majewski, the district services director. It's the same locker room that was there when the school opened.

Majewski proposed to school board officials last week a full remodeling of both the boys' and girls' locker rooms at a cost of $225,000.

We would start once school is out, and I'm confident it will be finished prior to the beginning of the next school year, he said.

The school board will consider the proposal, along with Majewski's recommendations both to upgrade a 396-square-foot storage room under the visitor's stands at the high school football field for about $7,200 and to replace two refrigerators in the Sloan Elementary cafeteria for just over $28,000.

The locker room and school were built in 1969, Majewski said.

Budget workshop

Franklin Regional School Board will hold a March 30 public budget workshop meeting as it makes its way through the 2015-16 budget process.

Details about the time and location for the meeting will be announced by the district. Superintendent Gennaro Piraino said he would like to hold the meeting at the board's customary location, council chambers of the Murrysville municipal building on Sardis Road.
