Layout of expanded and renovated BES

On June 11, public hearings of the Budget Committee and School Board will take place at 5:00 pm (Budget Committee, at Town Hall) and 6:00 pm (School Board, at BES) to consider and recommend the sole warrant article for a Special School District Meeting to be held June 27 at 6:00 pm.

This presentation provides important public information about the proposed project to expand and renovate Barnstead Elementary School, address the school's significant deferred maintenance needs, eliminate the need for modular classroom buildings, and bring the school into compliance with current educational regulations.

Additional public information sessions will be held at the school on June 13 and June 20, both at 6:30 pm, to allow residents to review this information, ask questions, and discuss the town's options. The school board has not taken any action that will bind the town to this project or any borrowing -- that will be decided exclusively by the voters who attend the June 27 special meeting.
