PERTH AMBOY – At the 2/12/15 Board of Education Meeting Board Secretary Derek Jess reported on the status of the building of the two new schools.

“As far as the Seaman Street Elementary School, PennJersey has reported that they are all done with the preliminary testing. There will be bids out for remediation if the property needs it. We are starting bids for design consultants for the buildings and grounds part of the project.”

Jess continued, “As far at the property with the Housing Authority (former Delaney Homes), we need to discuss those negotiations. Our appraisal of the property and theirs are not the same.”

When asked about the Garage for busses and other school vehicles Jess answered, “An architect is working on several different locations. We looked at different places in town.”
