Chesco school districts have construction funded

CHESTER COUNTY

2 districts get construction aid

The Unionville-Chadds Ford and Kennett Consolidated School Districts will receive more than $759,000 in state funding to partially reimburse them for costs of major construction projects, State Rep. Chris Ross (R., Chester) announced last week.

Unionville-Chadds Ford will receive more than $582,000 for improvements at Unionville High School.

Kennett Consolidated will receive $177,000 for work at Bancroft Elementary School.

"The reimbursements will benefit these schools by enabling them to direct more funding into the classroom," Ross said in a statement.

The funding was available through the state's Planning and Construction Workbook. School districts must document the planning process, justify construction projects, and figure out the level of state participation needed.
