Article 2, to provide funding to repair the Sunderland Elementary School in the amount of $4,100,000. The figure is an estimate based on preliminary reports from the mold inspection and structural engineer and cost estimates from contractors. Mr. Léger felt that the town was rushing back into a school based on assumptions that may not be valid and time should be taken to evaluate the building to see if the building is worth the expense, maybe it needs to be replaced. Mr. Kelley stated that no action at this time will indicate that there is no emergency and delay at this time will be costly and will not allow use to be back in the building for September 2003.
