This district has not participated in any studies of a high school other than the discussions of a regional high school mentioned above. Following the budget vote on May 19, there should be public discussions on whether we should remain a tuitioning school district or schedule a vote on our own high school. Obviously, much discussion and meetings will be needed before a direction is established. The Middle School roof has plagued the district for many years. It is made from a single-ply rubberized membrane sitting on top of two inches of foam insulation.
Loose stones keep the membrane in place.
Over the years, the stone has poked holes in the membrane. Water leaks through. The roof edges have developed extensive dry rot damage and also leak. Core samples taken at various locations have found that 80 percent of the insulation is saturated. This results in tremendous added weight to the roof structure and reduces its insulation value to nearly zero.
