The Cornwall-Lebanon School District Board of School Directors on Monday approved a series of construction-related motions and vendor contracts tied to ongoing campus renovations and facility improvements.

The board also approved payment of Cedar Crest Campus renovation fund bills totaling $5,567,724.43 and capital reserve fund bills totaling $480,880.48. The motions were presented together on the buildings-and-grounds agenda and passed unanimously, 8–0. The board recorded the votes by show of hands.

Board President Schlegel noted that several approved payments relate directly to the construction work the superintendent described earlier in the meeting. “All of this is moving along on schedule, the Falcon Connector,” the superintendent had told the board before votes were taken.
