A second referendum about replacing the roof at Joel Barlow High School has been approved.  Funding for the project was approved in Redding by a vote of 329 to 82.  In Easton it was approved 131 to 20.  The vote on little more than a $1 million is the same amount approved by voters in Easton and Redding on May 5th, but due to technical errors, the vote was declared invalid by the Region 9 bond counsel.  

The Redding and Easton Town Clerks say the Region 9 Board of Education didn't submit the legal notice paperwork to them. 

Redding's share is about $555,000, while Easton is responsible for $486,000.  The 53 percent 47 percent break down is based on student population from each town.  

Work on the roof restoration has already begun.
