Other votes taken on Monday placed the two warrant articles in

Warrant Article 1, Palmer CTE Project, has a cost at this juncture of $25
million with a state contribution of $17 million -- it includes all CTE
areas, AHS sprinkler system, high school art and Special Education.
Warrant Article 2, Alvirne High School Project, has a current cost of
$21.5 million and is completely funded by the local community.
One caveat is that Warrant Article 1 has to pass for Warrant Article 2 to
be viable.
At most school board meetings there isnt much of an audience,
but Monday saw many folks coming forward with statements and
questions about the renovation/addition project. There was support
for the greenhouse cost, which is one of the options tabled this week.
Replacement of the tennis courts was important to several speakers,
while there were also questions about the academic wing of the school
and its needs.
Many questions and statements dealt with confusion about the number
of students needed to have a class formed. Several speakers spoke
about the projects, and the importance of passing both warrant articles
