Board approves $4.3 million capital improvement bond for 2026 projects
Summary
The New Buffalo Area Schools board approved a $4,300,000 2026 capital improvement bond to fund district projects after unanimous board support. The approval was part of a series of capital project motions recorded May 27.
The New Buffalo Area Schools Board of Education voted May 27 to approve a $4,300,000 capital improvement bond to fund the district's 2026 projects.
Superintendent Adam Bowen presented the recommendation; the motion, moved by Vanessa Thun and seconded by Stephen Donnelly, was recorded as carried with 'All ayes, motion carried.' The bond approval followed the board's concurrent decisions to appoint a construction manager and authorize major project contracts tied to the district's capital plan.
Board members discussed project oversight in the same meeting when they approved Skillman Corporation as construction manager and authorized design and construction contracts. No dissenting votes were recorded. The board did not provide a project-by-project budget breakdown in the meeting minutes; the transcript shows only the bond total of $4,300,000 and related contract amounts recorded elsewhere on the agenda.
Next steps: bond implementation will proceed under the district's capital-improvement plan and assigned construction management; the board did not record a schedule for bond issuance in the minutes.
