Why Have a Bond

Q: I realize we have to maintain our buildings and I do agree that bonded debt for long-term (20yr+) projects absolutely makes sense, but I would ask the Board to really step back and consider where we are. A: Bonded debt is a long-term commitment that is entered into carefully. The Administration has not planned for any changes to configurations or retrofits inside of our schools that could soon become obsolete. But there are some items that are currently necessary no matter what the longer term planning process results will be. The projects, at an estimated total cost of $950,500, fall into three main categories:

– Upgrades to athletic facilities at Munson Field at a cost of $375,000 for public and team restrooms, an athletic trainer area, and an equipment storage building. – SBHS Library – to purchase a portion of necessary library furnishings at a cost of $150,000, after the City moved to a new location. – Some small safety, security, and ongoing stewardship projects at all five schools including roof repairs at Orchard School and Rick Marcotte Central School, fire alarm upgrades, heating burner replacements at Tuttle, new flooring according to plan (to reduce trip hazards and replace worn,

  • utdated tile), and new lighting for energy savings. This amounts to $425,000.

Projects that did not fall into the above three categories have been delayed.
