BUTLER TWP — The sooner students can start getting into the newly-built classrooms at Butler Senior High School, the better.

The 10 new classrooms being constructed in a new 19,000-square-foot wing at the school are beginning to take shape, according to John Pappas, project manager for Eckles Construction.

Brian White, superintendent for the Butler Area School District, said that the classrooms could be ready for student occupation by April 1, which would alleviate some issues of space at the high school.

“We need that space for testing,” White said at the school board meeting Monday night. “A lot of temporary logistical things will get resolved very quickly with the classrooms available to us.”
