Major overhaul needed for middle school in Bellow Falls, Vt.

From The Brattleboro Reformer: Renovations to the Bellows Falls (Vt.) Middle School might cost as much as $11.3 million, and now the Rockingham School Board has to decide how much to ask for from the voters to move ahead with the project. A Committee studying the pending project received a sobering rundown of what is needed to upgrade the 84-year-old building. Electrical and heating and ventilation systems would have to be replaced, and the building needs a sprinkler system as well as interior ceiling, flooring and trim work.
