Budget hike spurs Bennington district board vote
Bennington School District directors reluctantly approved the annual budget for June voter consideration, facing an 18.6 percent rise driven largely by the St. Francis de Sales Academy closing. Additional staff, building, and fringe-benefit costs pushed the total, with salaries up and new supervisory accounts. The board warned the rise reflects fixed costs and external actions, and they proposed letting voters choose future budgets by Australian ballot.

Styrofoam Base Cuts Willow Park Costs for Courts Project
William H. Morse uses Dow styrofoam slabs as the base for Willow Park tennis courts and multi use area, cutting estimated total cost from about 38,880 to around 35,000. Engineer Daniel G. Cadiz notes Maine highway use of the material lowers prices. Vermont has tested similar bases. The slabs, an inch and a half thick, replace two feet of gravel and sand, are held by wooden dowels, and topped with sand, gravel and an asphalt surface, promising frost protection and cost savings.
