BSD Eyes Purchase of Catholic School Complex
The Bennington School District board unanimously authorized its building committee to negotiate with the Catholic high school board to buy a five-building complex including Catamount Elementary School on School Street. Any sale would require voter approval, possibly in June. The plan envisions tearing down several structures to create playgrounds while renovating Catamount Elementary into 24 teaching stations and preserving a gym and cafeteria. Estimated costs suggest a $1.2 million price after aid, with a first bond payment of about $100,800 in 1975, boosted by rent savings of $45,000 and existing bond payoffs.
