In a second trip to the polls, town voters overwhelmingly approved a proposal for a massive renovation of the Sherman School. In the referendum held Saturday, Oct. 5, residents voted 961-505 to approve a $43 million “renovate to new” construction project on the aging school building. The town will finance the project through bonds of about $32 million or less, according to a previous statement from the Sherman Board of Selectmen. Special state legislation passed last year guaranteed a minimum reimbursement rate of 30 percent by the state. Taxpayers will cover $30.53 million of the project’s costs. The project will take 18 months to two years to complete, Board of Education member Tim Laughlin previously said. Construction will begin next summer and is anticipated to be complete in late fall or early winter of 2026.
