Skip Cushman was in to brief the BOS with the on goings of the School, 1st they have been looking at a large portable to be used for class rooms, several School Board members have gone and looked at it and they have said it is in good shape and Windham would be willing to hold any lien that may be needed, they believe that we can get the building for around $125,000 with about $100,000 or so to have set up and moved, the building was around $850,000 new. Lengthy discussion was held re ways to finance, Selectmen were in agreement to have the School Board look into this further and get firmer prices and get them to us ASAP so we can get it on the Annual Town Warrant for June 11th.
