Beth Center Delays Start Of School

Students in the Bethlehem-Center School District will get a few extra days of summer vacation.  School officials say they have postponed the start of classes for one week because of ongoing renovation projects.  District officials say a more than ten-million-dollar heating, ventilation and air-conditioning project began in April and there is still work that needs to be finished before classes can start.  Classes were supposed to start on August 21st, but will instead start on August 28th.  The project included new roofs on school buildings, better security systems and doors and air conditioning in the middle and high schools.  Officials say the air conditioning system is mostly completed at the middle school but is not finished at all at the high school.
