Corry Area Joint School faces costly new construction
The Corry Area Joint School Committee meeting revealed plans for at least some new construction in the near term, driven by state mandates and a 10 year needs survey.

The district must submit data to the Department of Public Instruction by July for next year’s remodeling plans. Delegates cited four additional rooms needed for rural elementary students, but expansion requires sewage system changes blocked by the State Health Department.
