School committee OKs MSBA feasibility funds for two roofs, approves additional reserve money for larger culinary kitchen
Summary
The Barnstable School Committee voted unanimously Nov. 5 to appropriate feasibility funding to pursue MSBA review of potential roof projects at Barnstable High and Barnstable Intermediate, and to use $1 million in district reserves to cover higher-than-expected bids for a new culinary kitchen at the high school.
The Barnstable School Committee voted unanimously on Nov. 5 to move forward with feasibility and schematic work for potential roof projects at Barnstable High School and Barnstable Intermediate School and to provide reserve funding to cover a larger-than-expected culinary kitchen project at Barnstable High School.
The committee accepted invitations from the Massachusetts School Building Authority(MSBA) to collaborate on accelerated-repair reviews for both schools and appropriated $350,000 for schematic design and feasibility work for each building. The appropriations are intended to cover the town's share of initial design and consultant costs while the MSBA evaluates the buildings and determines whether the projects will be eligible for a future grant award. The motions note that any MSBA grant is discretionary and that the town would be responsible for costs beyond any awarded grant.
