Matthew Monaghan, an architect at SEIdesigngroup, reviewed more specifics of the $14 million May 15 capital project at last night’s Board of Education meeting.
A detailed version given to board members.
As the board heard at the last meeting, the capital project will have a minimal impact on school taxes. The proposed capital project would raise taxes by a net of $14 (+0.44 percent) for the typical homeowner with a $160,000 assessment once the 1999 capital project is repaid.
The capital project vote will be held from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, May 15 in the B-wing gymnasium at the high school. The community will also consider the 2018-19 budget, bus purchase proposal and elect two members to the Board of Education.
Monaghan reviewed the project by each building. Here’s an overview of his presentation:
