Renovations at Chicora, Sugarcreek schools still going on
Students at the two elementary schools in Karns City Area School District will get an extra week of vacation this year because of ongoing renovations at Chicora Elementary School, which began earlier this summer.
District superintendent Eric Ritzert said construction crews will be paving roads at Chicora Elementary soon, which is the main cause for the delay. Despite this, he said the campus has been “busy” recently.
“It has been a busy summer, and it will be busy right up into the start of the school year,” Ritzert said. “The construction is going well, but we do need to delay the start by one week. That was a request made by multiple contractors to enable us to start school year in a safe manner.”
