Why buy when you can rent

The Scotsman moduler’s were first rented for a 5-year contract in 1999 at 510.00 per month for 60 months.

After repeated demand by the some of the board and the community for the contract that was never produced, the Superintendent got a quote on 12-9-04 and signed a 36-month extension at 435.00 per month without public input or even bringing it to the board for approval.

The cost of the buildings in the original contract to purchase was 30,100.00
Paid under the 60 month contract at 510.00/month 30,600.00
To be paid under the new 36th month contract 435.00/month 15,660.00
Knockdown and return freight; 4,096.00
Total rental cost with no ownership value 50,356.00
Total pay in excess of cost 20,235.00
Equity in modulars 0.00

All of this while 16 permanent classrooms sit empty at the Acton School.

This is why the community does not support the school system and refuses to approve bonds to give the school more money to waste.
