Ridgefield Board of Ed to consider capital project funding

The Ridgefield Board of Education is meeting tonight about capital improvement funding.  The Ridgefield Press reports that 39 items over 5 years would be funded under the plan presented to the Board last month.  7 projects would be funded in the upcoming school year.  That includes removing and replacing 30-year-old oil tanks at Farmingville, Branchville and Ridgebury elementary schools.  Asbestos abatement and floor re-tiling are proposed for Scotland and Branchville.  All of those items total $747,650.  Some $1,043,087 in building improvement projects is also requested.  That money would go toward auditorium upgrades at East Ridge Middle School, Ridgefield High School, Barlow Mountain and Scotland elementary schools.  Well infrastructure improvements at Branchville and Farmingville schools and LED lighting upgrades at Ridgebury and bathroom renovations at the high school, East Ridge, Branchville, Farmingville and Veterans Park are also planned.
