The YS Schools Facilities Committee continued to discuss potential options for renovation of the district’s public school buildings at its most recent meeting on Thursday, Jan. 5.
On Wednesday, Dec. 7 the most recent meeting between members of the Yellow Springs Board of Education, Village Council and Miami Township Trustees the three entities discussed their respective financial futures.
That question had more than one answer for committee and community members present at the meeting, as architect Mike Ruetschle and Michael Murdock, of maintenance plan advisor firm Motz Engineering, laid out two potential directions for the committee and, ultimately, the school board to consider.
Since its formation in March, the School Facilities Committee has been meeting monthly, driving toward answering two main questions for both the district and the community: What is the current state of the district’s existing school buildings, and what might it cost to upgrade them to meet the needs
The objective of the meeting was for the three entities and the public to come together in order to better understand tax structures, learn about each entity’s financial needs and talk about ideas for future collaboration.
