Bond Issue At Stake Tomorrow For Mt Anthony School
Bennington School District voters head to the polls Tuesday to decide a proposed 1.575 million bond to renovate and expand Mt Anthony Union junior high. If approved, a Mt Anthony Union district meeting will decide rental terms to cover costs, with renovations beginning this year and new construction possibly next spring. If defeated, state requires expensive alterations to the aging Bendi building to gain public school approval. Supporters argue the upgrades fit community needs, including heating, toilets, ramps for special education, wiring, and improved corridors, with 10 new classrooms plus cafeteria expansion planned.
