The McGrath firm will be responsible for demolition of the schools it is purchasing, school district officials previously said. The Mary Devine, Emerson and Buchanan schools were demolished to make way for the new elementary schools on their properties. Both properties are listed for sale, he added. Once the Maple Shade demolition is completed, Lafayette Elementary will also be demolished, Sweigard said. Of the other closed elementary schools, Maple Shade is currently being demolished, with that process looking like it was more than half completed as of Thursday. However, McGrath has not yet filed detailed plans with the township, council President Craig Bowen said. The developer has said he plans age-restricted housing for the sites. Work at the Barton site follows the closing of nine elementary schools and consolidation of elementary operations at three large new schools, each costing roughly $30 million.Ī Bucks County judge recently approved the sale of three of the closed schools - John Fitch, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington - to McGrath & Son Homes. "It's state of the art, and one of the results of our enduring efforts to revitalize our district," he added. "It took a lot of hard work and a lot of hurdles to get over, but it paid off in beautiful fashion," school board member Gallus Obert said. A $2 million, 9,000-square-foot building for the repair and maintenance of buses and other district vehicles should be finished in about a week, and $5.9 million in site work including improvements to the parking lot and two baseball fields should be done fairly soon, district Operations Director Bob Maloney said. The renovation cost about $9 million and was one of three ongoing projects on the property.
"If I need to touch base with someone in transportation or operations, I can just walk down the hall."
"It's nice for all of us to be in one spot now," district Business Manager Joshua Sweigard said. Truman High School, the new facility houses district-level administrators along with transportation and operations personnel who formerly had space at various locations. Located at 5 Blue Lake Road, and backing onto Green Lane near the district's Harry S.
The district's new administration/transportation/operations center at the site of the former Clara Barton Elementary School in Levittown recently opened and hosted its first school board meeting last week. The latest piece in a busy cycle of recent construction for the Bristol Township School District is up and running.
