Mark Cole introduced Mal Culp, director of operations and facilities for Austintown Schools. Mal, a Fitch graduate and Austintown resident, was an engineer with Packard Delphi for 38+ years, and took this job a few years ago, loves it. Site preparation is proceeding well, bringing in clay to replace topsoil on both building sites, which will eventually be mixed with portland cement to provide a final base for buildings. Trailers were needed at both existing buildings to replace some back areas removed to make space for construction, faculty parking lots relocated, and Falcon Drive closed to through traffic. Shuttle buses are available for football games from the K-Mart lot. They hope to be ready for walls by November 1.
Deanna called the meeting to order, with invocation, Pledge of Allegiance, and God Bless America by Karl Rein.
