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.

The evidence

Feb. 2026 key takeaways memo; Mar. 24 agenda lists the 10-year facilities plan; Mar. 24 packets include spring 2026 roof damage and capital projects summaries.
