Seymour school board: Seymour schools hold first hearing on proposed bond-funded renovations, buses and security upgrades

Estimated project costs, schedules and potential tax-rate effects were presented, but the minutes do not state the total bond amount, projected tax increase or approve issuance of the bonds. No members of the public testified or asked questions. The hearing ended at 7:08 p.m.; a second hearing is required under the process described in the minutes, but no date is provided.
