School officials met with James Burke of the state Division of Vocational Education to seek approval for basement and annex renovations at Pittsfield High School. They aim to bid the $150,000 project so work finishes by September and pursue one third of costs in federal vocational funds after earlier hopes for 50 to 100 percent were dashed. The PUS work supports new occupational education, special education, and practical nursing courses starting with Taconic High School’s September opening.
