School Improvement Bonds: Why Provide Air Quality Upgrades to Coventry Schools?

Find out what Bond Question #12 will do for the school department if passed.

 

On Nov. 6's Town of Coventry Election Ballot, residents will have the opportunity to vote on six bond items that will affect the school department, five of which (#9-13) have been reviewed and approved by the RI Department of Education. RIDE will reimburse the Town of Coventry 48.3% on each of these five bond items if approved. (This is a one-time offer that will not be presented again in the future if the items are not approved.)

If approved, Bond Item #12 ($1.6 million), would provide for improvements to heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in Coventry High School, Alan Shawn Feinstein Middle School and Blackrock, Hopkins Hill, Tiogue and Western Coventry elementary schools.
