Mr. Howell proposes that the Town appropriate $1,000,000 from the Elementary School Debt Stabilization Fund, established at the 2008 Annual Town Meeting. This amount will be directed by the Town Manager to cover a portion of the 2011 debt service on bonds for the Alcott, Thoreau, and Willard elementary schools. The fund aims to mitigate the future tax impact of debt incurred for these three new educational facilities, with a planned phased reduction in FY 2011-2015 to lessen taxpayer burden.
