Well, was just told this was up on the School District's website. You should take the time, if you can, to read the presentation and get informed s much as you can about what they are planning to do.
As I understand it, they already scheduled the Bond Referendum for September 24, 2019 and I see they're also in the process of hiring a Bond Counsel.
Ok, so they must now have an idea right now (at least on a Macro level) of what they're actually going to do, a timeline and the costs involved since they already scheduled the Bond Referendum date.
Since they are already putting something into action - don't you think they should tell us right now what the preliminary number is for the Bond Referendum? I do. So, let me ask.
Shout out to Board President Mr. Shi - how much we talking about here, you know a rough estimate?
As I see it, it's a nice presentation but it's about everything, anything and all things and not about what will actually be done. You really can't comment one way or the other until they share the work that will actually be done, the timing and cost breakdown of what it is they're actually going to do. That includes the architect''s cost per sq. ft. calculations for both additions and renovations and the financing activity/debt service based upon the amount of state aid we will receive.
So, when will we know how much the Bond Referendum will be? There's not a lot of time between now and September 24, 2019 - Bond Referendum speaking. So, hopefully, it's not on September 23, 2019.
Based upon this presentation alone, their obviously planning this Bond Referendum will come with a Humongous price tag - and the People of Edison deserve enough time to review and digest their actual plans, the timing, the costs involved and other factors so there can be an intelligent and informative conversation and dialogue about this Bond Referendum with all the Voters.
I've been waiting a very long-time for the Board of Mythomania to properly address the Overcrowding in this town. It's disgraceful. But I'm also conscious of how they come up with these Bond Referendums here in Edison and the onus is on them to come up with the best plan possible in the most cost effective way possible to address it - and until I see that (along with the NJ DOE Preliminary & Final Eligible Cost Letters and DOE-130's) and they explain their actions, there's no way I will support what they propose.
Anyhoo, pay attention to this major event happening over there on Mythomania Lane. And don't believe any of their hype until they tell you what they're actually planning to do and why and what it's actually going to cost you.
