When the Streb property was identified as a potential site for a new high school in late 2010, the Board of Education contracted with Civil Design Associates for a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. (The complete report is on file and available at the Superintendent’s office.) The property has no wetland areas, no mines, is not in a floodplain and presents no environmental concerns. The Board of Education entered into discussions with the sellers.
In late May 2011, the Ohio School Facilities Commission announced that Dover City Schools was in line to receive substantial funding – over $9.4 million – through the Exceptional Needs Program, effectively leap-frogging DCS ahead of other school districts for funding based on the poor condition of the current Dover High School.
In early July 2011, the Board of Education commissioned CDA to do more extensive testing of the land. CDA in turn contracted with Test America to analyze soil samples. (The complete report is on file and available at the Superintendent’s office.) CDA also contacted the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to determine if they are aware of any potential hazards in or around the Streb property. Reports from CDA, Test America and OEPA all indicate that the property represents no environmental hazards.
