RSU 4 awarded $771,433 SRF grant for Libby Tozier security vestibule
Summary
Superintendent told the board RSU 4 received a $771,433 Department of Education SRF award for a security vestibule at Libby Tozier School; the project scope was reduced from the original request and will require a public hearing and voter approval before moving forward.
RSU 4 leaders announced the district received a State Revolving Fund (SRF) award from the Department of Education totaling $771,433 to support a security vestibule project at Libby Tozier School. The superintendent said the award is a positive development but that the approved amount represents a reduced scope from the district’s original estimate of roughly $800,000.
“The project that we initially had put in for was closer to $800,000,” the superintendent said. “It does exclude some of the work we were hoping to get done,” naming exterior doors around the building as an item not covered by the current award.
The superintendent said the award includes a breakdown identifying the district’s repayable portion and the state contribution. He told the board the next formal steps would include a public hearing and, if the district decides to proceed, placing the measure before voters for approval.
Board members were informed this is an early step in a multi‑part process; no formal board approval of a contract or final scope change was recorded in the meeting transcript. The superintendent did not provide a final project timeline or a detailed funding split in the meeting packet; those details will be part of later project materials and the public hearing record.
