Facilities presenter said, “The high school stadium project, as you know, is scheduled to begin construction on June 1.” Staff said contractors have already begun early coordination and a kickoff meeting is scheduled; the district is completing contracts with vendors and will manage early site work to avoid interrupting school and athletic operations.

On scheduling and accountability, facilities staff said the stadium contract includes a clause that charges contractors per day for missed completion — a contractual mechanism staff said provides motivation for on-time delivery. The district told the committee it will track the schedule closely and communicate status to athletic staff; if construction would affect the fall football schedule, staff said they would provide advance notice so teams can arrange alternate venues or practice plans.

Other capital items discussed: a partial roof replacement at the high school over Stratton Hall is planned for the summer; Glenside Elementary’s six-classroom addition has started the land-development process, with staff reporting conditional approvals from the township’s Shade Tree Commission and Planning Commission as the project works toward final submission. Cedar Brook addition plans are in early stages internally; staff have met with teachers and other building users to get classroom layout feedback.

Facilities staff said two projects — the high school HVAC and the administration-building HVAC — showed no movement in the last 30 days. The committee did not take formal votes on capital authorizations during this meeting; staff said contract execution and state/local permitting remain prerequisites to construction starts.

Committee members asked how contractor staging would be managed to limit disruption; staff said administrative leaders will be part of preconstruction coordination and that the district aims to identify areas for early work to protect programming. A community member asked whether stadium construction would be complete for the start of football season; staff answered the contract schedule targets completion before the first week of the season and that liquidated-damages provisions are part of the contract.

No capital budgets or contracts were approved at the meeting; staff said next steps include finalizing vendor contracts and continuing township submissions for the Glenside addition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025 04 01 Facilities Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","District staff told the facilities committee that high school stadium construction is set to begin June 1 with contracts nearing completion; Glenside classroom addition has conditional township approvals and Cedar Brook addition plans are in early internal review.","taxTitle","Cheltenham SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",58186,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6087764,"Cheltenham SD reports multiple facility repairs; Cedar Brook track patched temporarily",385,101000,486000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2888523-98e0267612a5722eb25477fb398b981d&start=101&end=486","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2888523-98e0267612a5722eb25477fb398b981d/thumbnail_101000.jpg","/articles/6087764/Pennsylvania/Cheltenham-SD-reports-multiple-facility-repairs-Cedar-Brook-track-patched-temporarily","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087764-0796bfbbb887373ce65378408a76f456/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183264&Signature=mM6wloO7zoEJAe3y9JA3LQr1QbgcTRqGnBL7Hut39NaKY5bFzxkvshnaJ6yGIaB689GcySZWWr~NDplUVy85Ve-vfWvQqx9pb26IW7MrVLaPXtv9tDpf-y4ZrhWwJrdFJzC8K0xp7N5krKIJD0ORlpjhe6JCNqlx4c0YYaF33EvmLoO-pTcaP~kGlmoq1rK28zvdqvKVq9FZ2KUm~dpy8vpzF4S7cGjEhtPYhTntkjDIH2h5yRE25jkQYhtLkSPu8AxfAljR6vNSSeQPvb4gB8mreazz4WzvW2Shu3dXzO2W5k9JiM6qSedZUspt62DLOVpLeNyd3b83IsEdU4GMmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cheltenham School District facilities staff on the committee’s April meeting described several recent repairs across the district and flagged the Cedar Brook track for a near-term fix and a larger future replacement.

Facilities team presenter said, “First is the was a repair to the cooling tower at Glenside,” describing a failed fan motor that required “significant repair” and noting the district has seen “quite a bit of HVAC repair work” over the past year. The team also reported a mechanical water leak in a high school boiler room that was contained to the basement and did not affect classrooms.

The most-discussed item was the Cedar Brook track. Facilities staff said heavy community and school use has worn the top layer down to the underlayment; a contractor patched the surface to keep this season’s events on schedule. The presentation estimated a preliminary cost of roughly $100,000 for redoing the top layer to extend the track’s life. Staff warned that a full scrape-and-replace could cost “a half million dollar plus” and that a $100,000 resurfacing would likely extend useful life by “another couple years, 3 to 4 years.”

Committee members and community commenters stressed maintenance and permitted use as contributing factors. Facilities staff acknowledged the track had been “neglected” in annual maintenance and said staff are checking facility-use permits to confirm outside programs using the track are authorized. Community member Tara Knotts said several organized youth programs use the track daily and urged permitting or fencing to limit unauthorized access so preserve the surface.

On parking and pavement, staff showed photos of asphalt patching at the high school and recommended planning for a future top-layer grind and repave; last year’s work was described as a seal coat rather than a permanent fix. The facilities presenter said the district had not yet established whether portions of the roadway adjacent to the lot are an easement or wholly district-owned and recommended further investigation before pursuing a major paving project.

The committee approved the March meeting minutes by motion from Daniel Schultz and a second from Robin Murphy, with an aye voice vote. No formal actions were taken on projects discussed; staff said the repairs were maintenance responses and that major capital work would come through the district’s capital planning process.

The presentation closed with staff saying routine maintenance and stricter enforcement of permit use are immediate steps the district will take to limit further accelerated wear on athletic and parking surfaces.","Facilities staff described recent HVAC and plumbing repairs, an asphalt patch at the high school and a temporary patch to the Cedar Brook track that district leaders say will extend use but requires a larger investment later; the committee discussed enforcing facility-use permits for community groups.","actionData","errors"]
