Boyertown Area School Board Facilities Committee Meeting: 10/27/26

The Boyertown Area School District Facilities Committee met on October 27, 2026, to discuss planned classroom modulars at Boyertown Elementary, construction-project updates and the condition of the baseball stadium. For the modular project, the administration sought to advance planning for six classrooms to support all-day kindergarten and address space needs, with the classrooms expected to serve upper grades. CHA presented a concept for the modules, enclosed walkway, foundations and related site work. The committee discussed leasing at $7,500 per month for up to 60 months versus purchasing; no decision was made. A CHA design-services and project-management contract was expected to go before the board, with bidding anticipated around January and an award around February, ahead of summer construction for the 2027–28 school year. The project is expected to use capital-reserve funds. No committee vote was reported.

The committee also reviewed updates and proposed change orders for ongoing projects. A Philips Brothers Electric proposal related to transformer and cabling work at BASH was to be considered at the later legislative meeting; the amount was not clear in the transcript. Lantech’s turf-field work was nearing closeout, while BASH work included roofing by EA Roofing, HVAC work by JBM Mechanical and a generator tie-in. KCBA presented a baseball-stadium assessment with preliminary construction costs of approximately $1.7–$2 million, plus a 10% contingency and soft costs, for items including bleachers, roof, restrooms and accessibility and safety improvements. These were planning estimates, not an approved expenditure; the work may be phased and is to be considered alongside the district’s broader capital plan. A board member requested a copy of the district’s agreement with Boyertown Youth Baseball/Legion. No procurement approvals or votes were recorded in the committee discussion.
