Renovations at Waynesville school to begin

WAYNESVILLE — Renovations to Waynesville Elementary School will begin in the next few weeks after a nearly $1 million construction bid was accepted Monday night.
The Wayne Local Schools board of education accepted a $939,900 contract with House Construction Services Inc. of Cincinnati.
The project, which includes a nearly 6,200-square-foot expansion, is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year, said Superintendent Charles Williams. It will include a new, centrally located office, a media center and the installation of an elevator in the two-story building, Mr. Williams said.
Construction this spring should not be disruptive to the school's nearly 630 students, because most will be outside the building, he said.
Construction is being paid for by an $8 million bond issue approved by voters in 1995, also used to build a high school, which opened last fall.
One of the school's playgrounds, used by kindergartners through third-graders, will be displaced during construction.
Students will use the school's other playground in the interim. The district and the school's PTO are working to replace antiquated playground equipment, Mr. Williams said.
