The latest step comes with support from the town for the schools’ idea to hire an outside firm as a capital program manager and oversee the district’s $100 million maintenance plan. A cost hasn’t been determined but previous estimates put it between $50,000 and $100,000. The town and schools also plan to partner on other joint projects, leveraging the expertise in the town’s public works department and the pricing advantage they could get if similar projects were grouped together, such as paving. Some school board members suggested combining health care, with both the town and schools having the ability to go to a shared company on their own.
