The Tredyffrin-Easttown School Board voted 7-1 to proceed to authorize an agreement to purchase a 15-acre property at 1200 W. Swedesford Road, Berwyn, for $15.9 million for a possible sixth elementary school. The district has 60 days to determine if the site is usable as an elementary school. The closing date would follow within 30 days after the review process. The district is hosting a special meeting to discuss plans for the new school on Wednesday, Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m. at Conestoga High School, 200 Irish Road, Berwyn. Dr. Richard Gusick, superintendent, said residents will be able to learn about the plan and ask questions about the process. “The decision to build a school is a serious commitment, and we haven’t taken these steps since 1965,” Gusick said. Board President Todd Kantorczyk encouraged residents interested in the issue to attend the meeting. Read more here.
