Special Town Meeting in Bethel on school renovation funding

There is a Special Town Meeting in Bethel tonight about funding for $140,000 for preliminary expenses for Stage 2/pre-referendum costs for the Rockwell and Johnson School renovation projects. 

 

Among the areas in need of upgrade are the electrical systems, heating systems and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act in the bathrooms. Possible asbestos also needs to be addressed.  A study about possible renovations was conducted in 2010 and found that $50 million to $60 million worth of work was needed at the two schools.

 

Johnson School was built in 1980 to house grades 4 and 5. Rockwell School, which was built in 1971, was renovated in 1977. Rockwell is one of two schools in Bethel to teach kindergarten through third graders. 

 

Tonight's Special Town Meeting is set for 7pm at the Municipal Center.
