After careful study and community input, and with Board of Education approval, RSD #17 is moving forward with a renovation plan. The plan addresses aging infrastructure, improves safety and accessibility, and modernizes learning spaces at HKHS.
The Building HKHS’s Future Community Advisory Group was formed to provide clear information. It encourages dialogue and supports community understanding as the project advances through the state approval process.
Having a space waiver and the other three provisions explained in this clip saves our community significant money? Allowing us to keep the building we have is costly, but the legislature has oked that. Our reimbursement rate is 51.43% and it allows us to fix the drainage and ADA issues of our athletic fields for the same rate. If we lost these provisions the projects will not have this same reimbursement rate guaranteed.
6 AM to 8 PM Regular Polling Places.
The question is :
"Shall Regional School District No. 17, comprised of the Towns of Haddam and Killingworth, appropriate $151,900,000 for renovations and improvements to Haddam-Killingworth High School and authorize the issuance of bonds or notes of the District in an amount not to exceed $77,200,000 to finance the appropriation, or so much as may be necessary after deducting grants to be received for the project?"
HKHS has served our community for decades. Over time, building systems deteriorate, safety standards advance, and instructional requirements shift. The proposed renovation aims to enhance infrastructure, prioritize safety, improve accessibility, and create modern learning environments, all while preserving a cherished community asset.
We encourage residents to review materials, attend meetings, and ask questions.
