Letter to the Editor: School in serious need

As Superior’s newest superintendent, it is extremely important to me that this community understand that our schools are your schools. As such, I believe it is vital that we are transparent in the way we address District concerns and share information. To that end, I am writing to inform you of a serious situation that we are dealing with as the end of the year approaches. This past Wednesday evening at a Special Board Meeting, the Superior Schools trustees were presented with a bond levy proposal. The original proposal came about because the District received a $23,500 planning grant from the Montana Department of Commerce. The purpose of this grant was to perform an energy audit that would consider the long-term financial benefits of replacing the LP gas and fuel oil heating systems located in our three schools. McKinstry, the company that provided the initial assessment, found that the cost savings of an improved heat plant with other cost saving measures (like replacing windows, lights and control systems), would generate savings enough to pay for nearly 75 percent of the cost over the next twenty years, reimbursing nearly $1.3 million of the $1.8 million price tag.
