Regional School District 10 finance committee reviews bond calendar, drafts referendum questions for November ballot

The Regional School District 10 Finance Committee met May 4 at the district Central Office Conference Room to approve minutes, review bond planning materials and consider draft referendum language for a potential November ballot.

The committee approved the March 2, 2026 meeting minutes following a motion from Scott Savelle, committee member, and a second from Tom Fausel, committee member. Vicki Basile, committee member, and Tom Fausel abstained; the remaining members present voted in favor and the motion carried.

Committee members reviewed the district’s bond planning calendar and indicated agreement with the proposed agreement under consideration. The review was framed as preparatory: members said the finance committee’s role was to develop a starting point that the full Board would later discuss and act on.

Members also examined draft referendum questions related to a field enhancement project. The questions discussed at the meeting were described as draft language; the committee agreed the items should be forwarded to the full Board for discussion and possible placement on the November ballot.

Susan Laone, committee member, presented a draft resolution and accompanying community communication plan that would apply if more than one referendum question on the same subject received majority “yes” votes. The draft resolution lays out the process the district would follow to determine which project or question would be implemented if multiple ballot questions passed; the resolution will be brought to the full Board for further discussion and potential approval after ballot language is finalized.

The meeting began at 5:33 p.m. and adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
