KENNEBUNK — Proposed renovations to Kennebunk
High School, Mildred L. Day School and Kennebunkport Consolidated School
should cost no more than $55 million — $20 million less than a proposal
voters failed in January, it was decided Monday night.
This
was the charge the RSU 21 Board of Directors put before the district’s
Facilities Committee and building committees during an at-times heated
meeting Monday night, as the group faced the difficulties of moving
forward after voters failed the $75 million proposal in January by a
2-to-1 margin.
The board on Monday supported a motion by
Director Frank Drigotas that the targeted estimated cost to renovate the
facilities be no higher than $42 million for KHS — with no relationship
with the Southern Maine Center for the Visual and Performing Arts — $4
million for Consolidated and $9 million for M. L. Day.
The
motion states that the Facilities Committee oversee the work of
developing new construction proposals, reengaging each of the building
committees and members of the public to develop these plans for
consideration by the full Board at the June 2 meeting.
