Faulty thermal seals in the windows leak
heat in the winter at the high school and
create a constant fog on the windows. |

Workers made
temporary, patch-work repairs to the leaking
high school roof in the waning days of
summer. The repairs were needed for the
county Health Department's approval to use the
kitchen. |

a year-by-year cost breakdown for
the project
For all but one year, the overall
combined annual cost to RCS
taxpayers would be less than $6,410.
Savings from the energy efficiency
aspects of the project would be greater than the local
cost for the project
Switching from electric to natural gas firing of the middle school hot
water and air conditioning systems is projected conservatively to save
RCS taxpayers $28,600 a year.
What would the
propo sition
passage accomplish?
A leaking, asbestos-lined
boiler. Broken front doors. A
leaking roof that has forced students to dance around
buckets while lining up for lunch. A
1,000-gallon, electric-fired hot water heater that
“burns” cash. A falling
ceiling. Even an odoriferous
and potentially unsanitary leech field.
A
line-item breakdown of the proposition
Millions in work would cost
just pennies
for local taxpayers
What can
four cents buy you? In the RCS school district it can purchase residents
approximately $2.4 million in repairs, reconstruction and energy
efficiency upgrades thanks to the one-time state EXCEL aid program and
standard state aid
