COLCHESTER, Vt. (WCAX) – Colchester voters have approved a $115 million school improvement bond measure.
The preliminary vote tally was 4,503 to 4,408.
School officials say many building systems in the district have reached the end of their usable life.
The $115 million dollar bond proposal would go towards replacing HVAC, electrical, and lighting systems at Porters Point, Colchester Middle, and Union Memorial Schools. It would also make the ‘60s era building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and move the preschool from Malletts Bay into Porters Point and Union Memorial.
