Islesboro Central School’s roof is in such bad condition that several chunks of roofing, samples held here by custodian Richard Cilley, fell off, prompting Superintendent-Principal Michael Wright to have a protective barrier set up around the school. Stephen Blatt Architects of Portland have a scope-of-work agreement with the school committee to address the renovations and repairs at the school and prepare a plan for the work to present at the annual town meeting. A special town meeting, however, is set for Feb. 9 at 9 a.m. at the Kinnicutt Center to see whether the town will allow the school board to use the balance of a fund for capital improvements set aside a year ago for work on the school to allow Blatt to finish the plan.
Meanwhile, to address the roofing problem, Wright has applied for money from a revolving state fund for emergency repair work on schools.
