LORDSTOWN While improvements may be needed down the road to the 40-plus-year old school district buildings, administrators and board of education members are discussing what must be done right now, such as flooding problems at the discus pit.
Superintendent Greg Bonamase said at Wednesday’s board meeting he has spoken with officials from MS Consultants about a drainage-improvement project at the athletic field and also addressed the often-flooded discus pit.
He said it was recommended the district replace the 900 linear feet of pipes to improve drainage off Salt Springs Road and to lay more piping at the discus field to enhance drainage there. He said some of the current piping is in good condition with cracks that can be fixed.

CHAMPION School officials took the final needed action to get a renewal 1.5-mill, five-year permanent improvement levy on the May primary ballot.
The Champion Board of Education on Monday gave the second needed reading for placing the levy on the May ballot.
Treasurer Laurena Rouan said the levy will generate about $125,000 annually for needed repairs at the Champion High School building for boilers, air conditioning, walls and windows.
“The levy dollars will all be designated for repairs and work at the high school. It was put on the ballot five years ago in 2016 and is now up for renewal,” she said.
