      In another matter related to the closing of Market St. Elementary School, the school board has approved a classroom renovation project at Center Intermediate that will turn current systemwide administrative offices at Center into classrooms at a cost of $227,850. Murphy Contracting was awarded a bid for the project.
      The local school board has not approved anything for a capital improvement project at the Boardman High School where all systemwide administrative offices, including the superintendent and treasurer, will be located next year.
      “Our first priority was the office to classroom conversion at Center Intermediate. An architect is still working on the drawings for the high school project,” Treasurer Nicholas Ciarniello said this week.
