Beaver Area School District May Vote Tonight On Next Step Regarding The Future Of Swimming Pool

The Beaver Area School District may vote tonight on its next step regarding what do with the district’s swimming pool. The pool is in need of overdue repairs to its liner, heater and pump, and it’s currently drained. The board is considering whether to repair the pool or close it. The cost of repairing it could range between 62-thousand and 273-thousand dollars, depending on the condition of the pipes behind the liner. News of the pool’s potential closing drew outcry from parents, students and alumni alike. An online petition posted on change.org and titled “Save The Beaver Area High School Swimming Pool And Aquatics Program” has hundreds of signatures. They’re currently up to 1,312 signatures for that petition.
