TOWN HALL MEETING - Tuesday, March 11, 7pm, Patton Middle School Auditorium

Please plan on joining us for more detail and an opportunity to hear both administration and the school board review this important project and take input from the community.

The school board voted on Monday, February 25, 2008 to put a 30 million dollar

Modular trailer classrooms at UHS

referendum before voters on April 22, 2008...

This board action would reduce the burden on taxpayers by asking them to authorize the district to borrow up to 30 million dollars, less than half of the original 62.5 million dollar cost. The remaining expense would be realized through district operating funds.

In other words, the district will ask voters to approve 30 million dollars above the budgetary limits set by Act 1, leaving the rest to be funded under the limit. The amount under the limit would have to come from trimming operating costs by a small percentage each year.

For community members who wish to contact the district regarding the project or its financing, please send your comments to uhsbuild@ucfsd.org by email or by US mail at: UCFSD District Administration, 740 Unionville Rd, Kennett Square, PA 19348, Attn: UHS Building Project.
