Northhampton Board of Supervisors has approved a resolution for a 20-year bond that will bring in $28,925,000 for the renovation of Northampton High School.
According to the resolution, the County will issue its general obligation school bond “for the purpose of financing capital projects for public school purposes, including, without limitation the renovation, modernization, partial replacement (including demolition), and expansion of the current Northampton Middle/High School Complex, which constitutes a capital project for public school purposes, (ii) the costs of issuing the Local School Bond, and (iii) capitalized interest on the Local School Bond (collectively, the “Project”).”
The County expects to hold a public hearing on October 8, 2019.
Some of the greatest americans this country ever produced were educated in one room school houses. I am willing to bet that grades will not change significantly over a 10 year forecast of the renovation’s completion. The grading scale has been so dumbed down that an A aint what it used to be.
So Sad.
