The roof replacement was not approved at this meeting, so the proposed borrowing and taxpayer referendum process did not move forward then. Officials said the roof remains necessary, but they need the Board of Education involved in deciding how much could come from existing capital or reserve funds. The proposed estimate included a $314,875 contingency, or about 5% of the project cost.
