TE School District Reveals Plans for Summer Fence Project

Shortly after school lets out in June, work will begin on the installation of new fencing around Valley Forge Middle School, according to the Tredyffrin-Easttown School District’s Facilities Committee.

According to the plans, a four-foot, white vinyl, split-rail fence will be placed along Valley Forge Road.

The cost increase for the upgrade from black chain-link to vinyl split-rail fencing will be shared equally by the Chesterbrook Civic Association and the school district, pending verification that the cost to the school district for the entire fencing project is reduced due to the decrease in overall linear footage.

The height of any new interior, black vinyl chain-link fence on the upper athletic field plateau will be put to a full Board vote at its meeting on Monday, June 15, at 7:30 p.m. at Conestoga High School.

Th eproject will place gates at existing pathways entering the property and at other locations designated by the school district. Gates at the existing paved paths will remain open, but the district reserves the right to close and/or lock the gates for emergencies.

The district says that property owners located at the rear of the middle school property may maintain vegetation on school property, but TE School District does not relinquish its ownership rights.
