Last week the District Advisory Committee presented a report to the Board of Education about potential capital improvement projects at all four school buildings. Projects were identified based on site visits and meetings with building administrators.
The projects were divided into those which could be funded by the community's existing Capital Reserve Fund and those which might be funded by a future Capital Reserve Project.
