What this means
The approved boiler project will be funded through state education funds, so the minutes state that taxpayers will not pay for it. The September 22 referendum date gives the Board of Education more time to notify voters under new legislation. The board took no action on the $2.3 million Public Safety Complex renovation and requested a legal opinion about responsibility for the upgrades.
