The Candia School Board recommends that the Town of Candia support Warrant article #4 to ensure the integrity of the building the town has invested in; and to maintain a safe classroom environment for the students and families of our town and generations to come.

Decades of deferred maintenance at Henry Moore School have led to the need for replacement of vital operating systems (air/roofing/building); that are past or are approaching the end of their useful lifecycles and which present immediate or imminent future liabilities for the town.

While none of the projects are known to present an immediate life/safety risk; a failure of some of the involved systems could cause significant disruption to the school or risks to students/volunteers/staff and families were they to occur unexpectedly.

Entering into an energy efficient investment contract would benefit Candia taxpayers by mitigating annual maintenance budget spikes while providing annual cost reductions through energy efficiencies.

The attached presentation provides details on the current state of the facilities along with the proposed energy efficiency plan. The Candia School Board will be meeting again March 4^th should you have questions.
