To see if the School District will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $226,000 to replace seating in the Auditorium at Winnacunnet High School? This project is part of the facility plan adopted by the school board. This will be a non-lapsing appropriation per RSA 32:7 VI and will not lapse until the project is complete or June 30, 2029, whichever is earlier.
What it Means: The School Board is asking voters to fund an auditorium seating replacement project that is part of the established auditorium improvement plan and the five-year capital improvement plan (CIP).
Those in Favor: The seats will reach the end of the useful life cycle, with matching replacement seats and seat parts are no longer available for repairs. The School Board joined a national procurement bid that will allows the Cooperative to replace all the seats at a lower cost than the original plan to replace half and use the extras in good condition as spare replacements.
Those Against: No one spoke against this Article at the SAU 21 Deliberative Session.
Fiscal Impact: For a Hampton property valued at $600,000, the additional cost impact versus last year would be $10.51 (Hampton’s share of 47.23%).
