Intro and The Superintendent’s Thoughts
There was talk of state building aid being suspended before Claremont would have the ability to vote on the bond issue. This would leave Claremont Citizens to foot the bill for the entire project.
With our Huge post earlier today you can see that as long as we have the bond vote before May of 2010 and the vote passes we should still have the state providing the building aid we had expected. This is Huge for all Claremont Citizens but underscores how imperative it is that we pass the bond vote for the school when it comes to vote in March 2010!
Please see SAU 6 Superintendent Jacqueline E. Guillette’s comments below.
“I am thrilled with the recommendation being sent to the full legislature by the Study Committee on School Building Aid. This recommendation honors the long and hard work done by our communities, and communities all over NH, in preparation for bond votes in March 2010. This recommendation, if approved, will heighten the need to pass bonds this March 2010. No one will know how long a moratorium could last and then once it’s lifted, no one will know what the level of state building aid will be at that time. In the future Unity (45% state building aid) and Claremont (60% state building aid) will most likely not have the opportunity for the level of state building aid that they would receive by passing a bond in March 2010. Based on all current information as of yesterday, now (March 2010) is the time to get the most possible state support for these bonds.”
Sincerely,
