School district to install more walkway covers
By MEGHAN BRADBURY - | Apr 21, 2021
A half dozen additional schools will receive walkway covers leading from portable classrooms to the main buildings.
The Lee County School Board renewed a contract to continue installations, at a cost of $500,000, last Tuesday.
Construction Director Scott Reichenbacher said remaining schools include Harns Marsh Middle School, Gateway Elementary School, North Fort Myers Academy for the Arts, Tice Elementary School, Treeline Elementary School, Villas Elementary School and the Pace Center.
He said the district has been installing the walkway covers since the half cent sales tax was approved by Lee County voters in 2018.
