Martin Elementary Renovations Move Forward

The Cumberland County Board of Education has accepted a bid to make improvements to Martin Elementary School.

Kacee Harris is the board’s Chief Financial Officer.

“To keep it simple, we have $850,000 dollars to spend,” Harris said. “We can do the base bid and the engineering fees, with the change door order included and come in $4,900 dollars under budget.”

Renovations include replacing doors that lead directly outside from class rooms and window frames.

The board voted unanimously Thursday night to move forward with the project that is expected to stretch into September.

The bid still needs approval from Cumberland County’s finance department before it is finalized.
