School Board looks to vote on school design resolution

The School Board will be holding a special meeting on Monday, July 1, 2024 to consider a resolution regarding a School Board recommendation for a Pond Cove Elementary, Cape Elizabeth Middle School, and Cape Elizabeth High School referendum in November.  The resolution, which will enumerate costs associated with the school building project, will list specific costs for each school.  Upon approval, the resolution will be sent to the Town Council for their consideration in advance of authorizing expenditures and the issuance of the Town's general obligation bonds.

The School Board held a public forum on June 24 where the Middle Ground School Design Solution was presented by Lisa Sawin of Harriman.  The comments from the public were largely in favor of the proposal. Questions on how to move forward with the 1930's building, which currently is a part of the middle school, were raised.  

The School Building Advisory Committee, which met for its final time following the forum, also discussed the fate of the 1930's building.  Harriman has been asked to prepare a high-level cost estimate for potential work to be undertaken with this building should it be transferred to the Town.
