The file I received was 4 MB. More documents will be posted later.

There are outstanding invoices for services to date that have not been included in the figures above. 

The Advisory Board should have this information.

  1. By the looks of this, the Town has spent 14,883.59 in interest alone from FY 2010 to FY 2014. I find it interesting that the School people never came out and asked the people in this town if they would back building a new school. A yes or no answer would have been fine. I am sure as the day is long, that they were afraid of the answer, so they just avoided asking the question.. How can they justify spending this amount of money, with out the town's approval ?? Tonight is the pre town meeting at 6:00. Things should be interesting.

  2. The need for up dating the schools, is with out a doubt a need. The idea that the School Department did nothing to provide the kids with the tools they needed to learn, tells me there is something very wrong with how the schools are run. Why did the parents allow this to happen ?? The school plan is just fine, the place they want to put it on is just wrong. Nothing is going to change that.
