In case you missed this article in the Monroe County Herald. It provides some great info on our facility study process and potential referendum.
https://www.monroecountyherald.com/stories/bangor-referendum-closing-in-on-vote-date,12309
Bangor Cardinals,
In early July, The District sent out information to our school community about our facility study process and shared that the board would be considering adding a capital referendum question to the November 8 election this fall. The month of July was a busy month for this process with efforts made to spread the word about the process, gather feedback, and focus in on what would be included and the overall cost. Following yet another board study session last evening, we want to provide the following updates.
1. In an unfortunate series of events, we had communicated to families that a mailing would be going out via mail to the entire community. The mailer was created, marked for mailing, delivered to the post office on Friday July 8th, and from there, we are still not sure what happened to the mailers outside of the fact that we know that they have not arrived in the mailboxes that they were intended for. If these do show up at some point in the future, we are confident that they will cause confusion, because they are now outdated and the events promoted have passed. Regardless of if and when they arrive, the link to the district’s facility study website is still very much active and up to date. We encourage families to check out the site https://express.adobe.com/page/CMREDurdJ6hvT/ or contact Superintendent Brokopp for more information. We are sorry for any confusion this may cause and we are working hard to make sure that this type of thing does not occur again.
2. After many drafts and feedback on project scope and overall cost, the board will be presented a resolution for approval at our August 17 meeting that would provide additions and renovations to each of our three buildings at a cost not to exceed $24 million. If approved on the 17th, the question would be added to the November ballot for vote by our community.
Through strong financial management and comprehensive planning, the District has positioned itself to make many of the much-needed facility improvements with minimal tax impact for the community. With the final payments in sight for the district’s 2007 renovations and additions to Bangor Elementary school, the district is positioned to enhance and improve our existing facilities with this 20-year investment into our schools and community. The Morris Leatherman Group conducted phone surveys of 400 taxpayers in our community and found strong support for both the types of projects being proposed as well as for the cost of these proposed projects. We take nothing for granted, but we are excited to dream about the future of our district and the environment that we can create for our students and community.
For more information about the process, scope of projects being proposed,
and financial impact, we again encourage community to explore our facility study page at https://express.adobe.com/page/CMREDurdJ6hvT/ or contact David Brokopp, Superintendent of schools at dbrokopp@bangorsd.net or 608-486-5202 for more information. It is our hope to have all nine municipalities that are represented within the district stand together for One Bangor and One Future. Together we can continue the rich legacy of Bangor Pride and continue to make each day A Great Day to be a Bangor Cardinal.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our process.
David Brokopp Ph.D.
