The Central Middle School project needs additional funding after its original contingency was reduced by higher-than-budgeted professional costs and an unforeseen fire-suppression issue linked to inadequate municipal water pressure. The $6 million appropriation and borrowing resolution advance funding for the project but are committee recommendations. The committee split 2-2 on a $250,000 feasibility request for a potential new Board of Education administrative building, so it was recommended as non-routine rather than approved routinely.
