Franklin Regional School Board will hold a special meeting Wednesday to vote on authorizing the district to advertise and solicit bids for the Sloan elementary campus project.

The meeting will be at 6 p.m. in the Murrysville municipal building at 4100 Sardis Road.

The $54 million project includes the renovation of Sloan Elementary into a building serving kindergarten through second grade and construction of a new building for students in grades three to five.

Murrysville council’s approval of the project is the subject of a legal challenge by the Sloan Project Concerned Citizens group.
