Groton Permanent School Building Committee 4/6/26

The Groton Permanent School Building Committee held a special meeting on April 6, 2026, primarily to discuss and approve moving forward with a roof replacement project at Charles Barnum School. The project estimate is just under one million dollars, with an anticipated state reimbursement rate of approximately 50%. The committee reviewed the project scope, which involves replacing the roof membrane and flashings without structural changes, and discussed the timeline aiming for completion over the summer before the school reopens in late August. They addressed procedural matters including bid advertisement, a 30-day bidding period, and bonding requirements. The committee unanimously voted to proceed with the project and agreed on future meeting scheduling and communication protocols. No other major capital projects were identified at this time.
