The Bangor Area School District got a helping hand Tuesday night from its Five Points Richmond Road neighbor, a woman across the street who has agreed to lease land to the district for $1 a year.
The three-year lease is a big win for the district’s high school marching band. It now has a place to practice and not share with the school’s other teams.
The school board has been wrestling for months with various proposals to upgrade or expand its outdoor athletic fields.
“It solves a lot of problems,” said board member Bruce Cameron, referring to the district’s lease with Carol B. Heinsohn.
In a related move, the district is planning for a $38,000 upgrade of the baseball field at the senior high school.
The board also voted to reappoint Pam Colton as “temporary president,” and approved a new solicitor’s agreement with Don Spry of the firm King, Spry, Herman, Freund & Faul for legal services.
Board member Robert Cartwright and Ken Brewer argued the district should have put the contract out to bid but their attempts failed.
“What do we have to lose”? Cartwright asked, referring to the bidding process and the possibility of lower legal bills.
