Burlington School District to hold Town Hall for $70 million bond

Vermont Business Magazine With a few short weeks left before Election Day, Burlington School District (BSD) is hosting a “BHS Envisioning Town Hall” on October 23rd, from 7-8:30 PM in the Burlington High School Cafeteria (BHS). The event will feature a presentation of the District’s $70 million plan to upgrade the aging and failing facility, which will be followed by a question and answer session with staff and project architects. The District also plans to show a new 3D model of the plan for the first time at the event.

“As I have said through this process, we are committed to providing as much information as we can to the community so that they can make an educated decision on voting day,” Superintendent Yaw Obeng said. “We want to make sure stakeholders have the answers to any and all questions regarding this project, and I am looking forward to this opportunity to connect with our community.”

The event is free and open to the public. Those who want a closer look at the facility can take a tour of the High School before the Town Hall. Tours begin at 5:30 PM in the BHS lobby on October 23rd and will end in time to attend the Town Hall. Tours are also being offered Wednesday, October 17 at 6 PM, and Saturday, November 3rd at 9 AM.
