Pioneer selling former central office modules
NORTHFIELD — Having changed the location of its central office in January, the Pioneer Valley Regional School District is selling its former office space behind Pioneer Valley Regional School.
The three single-story modular buildings have been vacant since the office was moved to 168 Main St. The move was prompted by employee concerns about foundation cracks, rust, roof leaks, mold in the basement and outdated electrical, communication and alarm systems, as well as a feasibility study that determined repairs alone would cost $145,186.(But its OK for taxpayers to foot a bill of 34,000.00 plus for her rental yearly??? How does this make sense? Lets also not forget her big raise I am still trying to make sense of ) OK READ THE UNDERLINE ABOVE AND LOOK BELOW TO WHAT SHE SAYS IN HER NEXT BREATH.
Last school year, the school committee decided the 20-year-old buildings were not worth repairing and a sale posting was recently added to www.pvrsdk12.org, the school district’s website. Superintendent Ruth Miller said she would like to see the buildings repurposed.
“You don’t want to just trash them,” Miller said. “It’d be nice to have them be used in a productive way.”(STARTING WITH THE MOVE BACK INTO IT )
The listing does not have an asking price, but states that no reasonable offer will be refused. Miller doesn’t expect to make money on the buildings, but hopes the sale will cover the cost of pushing gravel into and paving over the basement foundation once the modulars are removed.
Miller said the buildings could be used for almost anything, and buyers could purchase just one modular or all three.
She claimed the buildings would need “no major repairs,” as the one leaking roof has been patched to make the building useable, though it could still use cosmetic repairs. The mold, which was stressed as a big factor in the decision to move, also wouldn’t be an issue, Miller said, since all the mold is located in the basement.( If this is the case than why are we not just cleaning it up? In the end it will cost taxpayers less than her Queen ships rental luxury were footing the bill for ) ALSO NOTICE HOW NOW NONE OF WHAT WAS MENTIONED ABOVE IS A ISSUE A FEW SENTENCES LATER .
Miller said the modulars have attracted some interest already, though Pioneer’s central office has yet to receive a definite offer.
I totally agree SC Chair needs to go. Also wasn't Miller saying how she hated to show this years budget ? I think its time that pay cuts were taken from top half . Superintendent, Asst Superintendent, Principal and Vice Principal. I cannot believe we are paying these enormous prices and teachers are getting second jobs! I also agree if the buildings are safe to sell they are safe to fix and move them back into it . This will save money down the road.
ReplyDeleteJust a reminder, the 2017 class that is graduating and brings in over 500,000.00 from school choice will be gone next year and you have less than a handful only coming from school choice. Has anyone asked how that will be made up ? Alot of Vernon parents have chose not send kids to PVRS after last year and are not liking what they are seeing this year . Many of us dislike Superintendent Miller and how things are being run. Just curious .
