State High Vision Holds Special Meeting With Education Secretary

STATE COLLEGE —

A group opposed to the State College High School renovation plan took their concerns directly to the State Secretary of Education Monday.

State High Vision members had a face-to-face meeting with secretary Gerald Zahorchak hoping to, once again, put a stop to the project. The group told Zahorchak that they believe the school district has failed to properly follow procedure with the renovation project by not doing a district-wide facilities study.

According to Ron McGlaughlin, one of the there people at the meeting, they also expressed concern over what they say are a "lack of plans" for the south building.

McGlauglin said the secretary promised to take a "direct look" at their concerns, however, he didn't give a specific time frame for when he would respond to them. McGlaughlin said they hope to hear from him in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, Patricia Best, the State College school district superintendent, said she isn't surprised by the meeting, because officials at the Department of Education have been responsive to the concerns raised by State High Vision.

At same time, she said the district is moving forward with the high school project and she doubts any response from the meeting could stop the plan.
