Postpone Building Renovation Plans by North Bennington School
The Prudential Committee of the North Bennington Graded School District delays the second phase of its brick building renovation until next summer due to pending approvals from the Vermont Health and Public Safety Departments. Voters previously approved about 35 000 dollars for phase two, with possible inclusion of phase three if state aid and approvals align. The district plans to review summer start dates, staffing changes including hiring an art teacher, and contingencies while maintaining safety and budget. The school opens September 1 for all grades, with new student enrollment on August 21, and board meetings scheduled for the second Thursday each month.
