School Board Approves $6.4M Bond for Multiple Facility Upgrades

Burrillville Town Council took a significant step towards enhancing local education facilities during their recent meeting, approving a motion to authorize school construction bonds totaling up to $6.4 million. This funding will support critical projects aimed at improving school infrastructure across the district.

The council discussed various options for the bond issuance, ultimately settling on a plan that encompasses several key upgrades. These include roof replacements at Callahan School, gym floor replacements at both Bergle Middle School and Stair Farm Elementary, window replacements at Callahan School and Austin T. Levy, and HVAC cooling systems for the gym at Callahan School and the dome gym at Burrigel High School.

Council members emphasized the importance of these improvements, which are designed to enhance the learning environment for students. The approved bond will facilitate the completion of these essential projects, ensuring that local schools meet modern standards and provide safe, comfortable spaces for education.

As the council moves forward with this initiative, the community can expect to see tangible benefits in the quality of their educational facilities, reflecting a commitment to investing in the future of Burrillville's youth.
