SOUTH DEERFIELD — With the cost of a track construction project coming in at a lower bid than expected, the Frontier Regional School District School Committee approved a series of proposals on Tuesday concerning how to spend that money instead, including the purchase of new track equipment and a nine- or 14-passenger van.
“Earlier this year, we talked about using $200,000 of (excess and deficiency funds) to offset the cost of the track,” Superintendent Darius Modestow explained. “The track numbers were projected to be coming in at possibly up to $800,000 and change, but the track came in at $638,750. We now have a problem — kind of a good problem — which is we put money aside to use E and D.”
