Plans have been under way for months for the renovation of Beachwood High School, and next week the district will celebrate a big, tangible step in the construction.

The community is invited to the free and open-to-public goundbreaking at Beachwood High School at 5 p.m. May 26.

The renovations, funded mainly by a levy voters approved last spring, will cost approximately $35.6 million. Federal stimulus money will pay a $5.6 million share of the cost.

Renovations are expected to begin in June and end in time for the start of the 2013 school year.
