This is an important meeting to voice your support or concerns for Siemens’s proposal to upgrade the school.  The agenda is HERE   See our discussion page HEREThe school board says they can pass this WITHOUT a vote of the townspeople.

The options are:

  1. Do nothing and stick with what we’ve got
  2. Have a certified HVAC firm inspect the boiler and heating system and make a recommendation.
  3. Go with one of Siemens’s options
    1. Option 1 – an energy modernization of the school – cost of $165,420 (after rebates) which will have guaranteed savings of $13,590/year.  (Payback of 12-yrs.)
    2. Option 2 – all of Option 1 but also a new boiler and boiler room, pumps and accessories.  Total cost of project $2,634,413 but with rebates and incentives the total cost to the town will be $2,236,713.
    3. Option 3 – all of Option 2 but also with two “energy recovery ventilators” and two “radiant panels”.  Total cost of project $3,865,626 but with rebates and incentives the total cost to the town will be $3,455,926.

It is imperative that the school board hear from as many people as possible on this issue.
