Boardman schools enter state assessment program

BOARDMAN — The Boardman Board of Education agreed to permit the state to come in and assess all district buildings.

The board voted tonight to participate in the School Building Assistance Expedited Local Partnership Program.

The program permits school districts that are more than two years away from eligibility for state assistance under the Classroom Facilities Assistance Program to receive a districtwide assessment and master plan from the Ohio School Facilities Commission.

The board has said a new middle school is needed to merge the two in use: Boardman Center and Glenwood middle Schools. Parts of Center are more than 100 years old, and Glenwood was built in the early 1960s.
