District news
District sets aside money for $35 million maintenance needs
What happened
District papers say about $35 million of maintenance is expected over 10 years and $14 million is funded. The district is saving one-time money to cover most of the rest and avoid a capital referendum in the next 10 years. The board heard the 10-year facilities plan on March 24.
Why it matters to families
Aging buildings need repairs. Funding them from savings instead of a vote means fewer surprise tax requests, but the gap is large.
