This project is part of the facility plan adopted by the school board. This will be a non-lapsingappropriation per RSA 32:7 VI and will not lapse until the project is complete or June 30, 2025, whichever is earlier. (Majority vote required.)
What it means: This project represents a full replacement and upgrade of the auditorium lighting system, over a phased two-year plan.
Those in favor say: The current system has become obsolete and requires replacement. The new proposed system is designed to provide the proper lighting for both school programs and outside organizations.
Those opposed say: No one spoke against this Article at Deliberative Session.
Fiscal Impact: A Hampton home valued at $400,000 would bear an increased tax cost of $ 3.96 in 2022 if SAU 21 Article 2 passes. Take your property valuation divided by 1000 and multiplied by .01 to get your cost. This decision is for the current year only.
Note: These costs for taxpayers are calculated at 47.4% of the appropriations, which is Hampton’s share.
