Summary

Project managers told the School Building Committee that the 1922 Building needs a floor replacement, delaying project completion to summer 2027 and likely pushing the project over budget; the committee also voted to accept Fred Bahu as a new school committee member.

Project managers briefed the School Building Committee on multiple setbacks affecting an ongoing school construction project, including discovery that the 1922 Building’s floor requires replacement due to erosion.

Committee members were told the additional work has extended the project timeline, with completion now projected to summer 2027. The 1892 Building will be surveyed to determine if similar repairs are necessary. The exact financial impact of the required repairs has not been determined, but project managers said going over budget is now "all but guaranteed." The SBC voted to accept Fred Bahu as a new member of the school committee.

The transcript does not provide detailed cost estimates, amendment texts, or vote tallies for the appointment. The committee directed project managers to provide further financial estimates and survey results for the 1892 Building.
