Six School Districts and a Technical School Receive Multi-Prime Waiver in 2009 At least five more Single-Prime Applications under review

Since the beginning of 2009, one career center and six school districts (A.W. Beattie Career Center and Antietam, Avon Grove, Columbia Borough, Grove City Area, Oil City Area and Parkland School Districts) have received approval from the Department of Education to utilize single prime contracting for their school construction projects. At least five more districts are awaiting similar approval.

School entities from across the Commonwealth continue to demonstrate that single prime contracting can be a more effective and economical approach to major construction initiatives. Mandate Waiver applications approved in 2009 estimate millions in proposed savings for those districts looking to use the single prime method to complete their school construction projects.
