Bethlehem Area School Board votes unanimously to authorize beginning phases of $53.7 million project to raze and replace Nitschmann Middle School.
The Bethlehem Area School Board voted unanimously, 9-0, Monday night to authorize the design phase for a new Nitschmann Middle School in West Bethlehem, according to The Express Times. The board opted for new construction at a cost of $53.7 million rather than pursue a third set of renovations for the existing 90-year-old building. In addition to new construction, the board was looking at three renovation options that ranged in cost from $23.1 million to $48.4 million. Back in January, board President Mike Faccinetto said he thought that building new was now the most pragmatic option. Though some questioned the cost, others on the board agreed. “After taking a tour of the building, I do not think it is a proper learning environment,” …

Support to rebuild Nitschmann Middle School is growing among Bethlehem school board members
A Bethlehem school built in the 1920s could get a new lease on life if the full school board agrees with the outcome of a committee meeting this week.

The board has been weighing four options for the building – three variations for renovating and a plan to construct a new building at an estimated cost of $53.7 million. The options as outlined: A.

The condition of Nitschmann Middle School in Bethlehem has been a problem for years, and the school board has been thinking of replacing it for about as long. Now, the Bethlehem Area School District will let the voters decide what to do in a referendum, according to The Morning Call. At the Facilities Committee meeting on Monday, Superintendent Joseph Roy introduced a plan to put the question to voters in 2014, with the new school to open in 2018, if voters approve it. Would you vote for it? Leave a comment. The estimated cost would be in the millions, and that’s why it has to go to a referendum. The district can't borrow that much money without exceeding the state's limit on annual property tax increases, according to The Express Times. …
