Last night’s Millcreek school board meeting brought in a crowd to listen to  Stantec Architecture outline three basic options before the board, and thanks to Jim Martin of the Erie Times-News for summarizing them:

- Renovate McDowell High School and McDowell Intermediate for a total cost of $98.9 million

- Demolish McDowell High School for $5 a square foot and merge with an enlarged McDowell Intermediate for a total cost of $98.3 million

- Demolish the high school and build a larger addition to McDowell Intermediate for a total cost of $110.5 million.

The deadline for state funding is Oct. 2, although state funding will pay only 10 percent of the total cost of the renovation.
