EXCEL vote open house slated for Oct. 4

RCS will conduct an open house on 6 p.m. on Oct. 4 to discuss and show what would be fixed with the approval of the propositions going before voters on Oct. 9.

The open house will feature a tour of the High School and Middle School and a discussion of how RCS would be able to secure state building and EXCEL aid so that the cost to taxpayers will average just
4 cents per $1,000 assessed property value the first year and less than a penny the remaining 14 years. Click here for more on that.

Additionally, a bus will provide transportation to the two elementary schools to show the three-decade-plus year-old water heaters that are lined with asbestos and, in the case of A.W. Becker Elementary School, leaking.

Finally, district officials will outline how the project would actually provide an annual energy efficiency savings that is greater than it's cost. Click here for more on that.
