JEFFERSON TWP — The South Butler School District is receiving a $75,000 settlement from Burt Hill Kosar Rittelmann Associates, the architectural firm that designed the South Butler Primary School.
The board approved of the offer Wednesday night.
Solicitor Thomas Berth said the Primary School was built in 2003, but the roof had widespread leaks and had to be replaced in 2010. Replacement construction cost almost $600,000, which fixed the damage.
There are several parties involved in ongoing litigation with the roof issue.
