Middle schoolers in Bellows Falls will be disappointed to learn the start of their school year has been delayed nearly a week. The bonus summer vacation time is needed to finalize school renovations.
The construction delay is due to the installation of extra sprinklers to meet the fire code.
Other additions to the school include a new, handicap-accessible entryway, a wood pellet boiler, a solar hot water heater and technology upgrades.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports the school was scheduled to open on September fourth. The new opening date is September 10th.
