Hamburg Area School District board approves AEM contract for high school project; board clarified no pool or third gym
Summary
On March 23, 2026 the Hamburg Area School District board unanimously approved a contract with AEM for the high school project after AEM representatives confirmed the plan will not include a swimming pool or a third gymnasium.
At its March 23 meeting the Hamburg Area School District board voted unanimously to approve a contract with AEM for the district’s high school construction project. The motion to recommend approval was made by Steven Gilbert and seconded by Thomas DeAngelo; the roll-call vote recorded eight yes, zero no.
AEM representatives Peter Meckley and Philip Leinbach provided written answers to questions submitted by board members before the meeting and responded to follow-up questions during the session. District leadership and the AEM representatives confirmed the high school project as currently scoped will not include a swimming pool or a third gymnasium.
Board President Ryan J. Gebely and the administration discussed the scope and next steps; the minutes note that AEM provided printed responses to the board’s questions prior to the vote. The minutes do not list a contract value, timeline milestones or guaranteed completion dates.
The board’s approval authorizes the district to proceed under the terms of the AEM contract as presented at the meeting. The board did not take additional votes at the meeting to authorize specific construction change orders or financing arrangements, and no further action on those items is recorded in the minutes.
