Sunderland Gets State Assistance for School Repairs
The Vermont Board of Education approved phase one building aid for Sunderland Elementary School repairs after a recent school board vote to borrow up to 110000. About 80000 of costs qualify for 30 percent state aid, reducing local share by about 24000 to roughly 86000, with potential bond sales if a pending court suit against seven builders fails. The state will cover 20 percent of annual bond payments after year one.
