Voters approve $1.6M bond for school repairs
In an April 24 referendum, voters from the Boothbay region approved allowing the Community School District (CSD) to borrow up to $1.6 million. According to the ballot, this will cover “life safety improvements and critical repairs” at Boothbay Region Elementary School (BRES) and Boothbay Region High School (BRHS).
The results were:
Boothbay: YES-166 NO-120
Boothbay Harbor: YES-155 NO-80
As previously reported in the Register, the projects at the elementary school total about $811,000; high school, $593,000. The bond also includes a $196,000 buffer.
A meeting and public hearing for the CSD’s proposed $11.4 million school budget is May 7 at 6 p.m. in the BRES gym. The Budget Validation Referendum is June 10 at regular town polling places.
