Brewer: Work to begin next month at school site

BREWER, Maine - The outdoor track, soccer field, ice rink and the closed Pendleton Street School will be demolished beginning next month to start work on the new multimillion-dollar pre-kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school, Superintendent Daniel Lee said Wednesday.
The State Board of Education on Tuesday unanimously approved phase one of the $39.5 million construction project, which will occupy the corner of Pendleton Street and Parkway South.
"Everything will be torn down," Lee said, estimating that the demolition work will be complete in December.
Underground sewer and water lines and a retaining wall on the southern part of the site will be installed at the same time. A construction fence will surround the nearly 20-acre site.
Work on the new two-story, 156,000-square-foot elementary and middle school will begin in the spring and is expected to be completed by December 2010.
Since the soccer fields will be removed, this year’s Brewer High School soccer games will be played on Doyle Field and at facilities on Maple Street and Capri Street.
The outdoor ice rink will probably be relocated adjacent to the Washington Street School, said Ken Hanscom, Brewer Parks and Recreation director.
During their Monday meeting, the Brewer School Committee also decided to double the capacity of the pre-kindergarten program, add breakfast to the offerings at the high school and to increase meal prices slightly.
Breakfast will cost high school students $1.25. Elementary and middle school students will pay 10 cents more for meals, an increase from $1.75 to $1.85 for kindergarten through fifth grade and an increase to $2.10 for sixth through eighth grades. High school students will pay 25 cents more, with meal prices increasing to $2.25, Lee said.
