The Lyndon Town School is coming off a major construction project, which was the source of much discussion during the school portion of last year's town meeting. Voters approved three separate articles appropriating $285,000 to pay for the replacement of the school's roofs. The construction was needed after ice dams caused water to back up underneath the roofs, causing water and mold damage to classrooms on the upper floors of the school. The project was delayed midway through by the early onset of last winter. The project was completed at the end of last summer, just before the start of the school year. According to Principal Dave Cobb, the new roofs, which are made of a composite rubber material, should last approximately 15-20 years before they'll need to be replaced. One of the articles on this year's warning asks voters to allow the school board to take $110,000 out of the Tax Stabilization Fund to pay off the remaining bill for the project. The other major item on the warning is the overall budget for the school. The proposed budget is nearly $10.75 million, up 1 percent from last year.
