School issues spark delays in Manchester lighting upgrade
Three four foot fixtures arrived as the first shipment of a 12 267 lighting renovation at Manchester Elementary School. The project, funded after a March vote and October state health recommendations, faced bidding and aid hurdles and a shipment holdup. Board chair Eugene V. Kayatta warned a Broadway style comedy could be written about the fiasco, while plans to finish by August 15 remain, with minimal disruption once school resumes September 6. Wilcox Dairy won the milk contract after years of service, and bus routes may extend to Bullhead Pond to lift six students without transportation, with local residents noted for reservations for August 28 and September 4 concerts featuring Peter Serkin.
