An important feature of projects
1 - 6 is that the Board of Education intends to purchase
30-year-waranteed roofing, which is now available,
instead of the 20-year roofing that has been used in
the past. Given the ongoing significant expense that
the district faces in keeping its 11 total acres of
roofing in good shape, school board members agreed that
30-year materials are the better investment.
The school district's architect
estimates that 30-year-warranteed materials will
cost 17% more than 20-year materials for these six
projects, but will increase the useful life of the
roofs by 50%.
