is Seymour saving 36,000 with the lowest bid? so antinozzi bid 1,530,00 and agreed to take 430,000 off the price to make it 1,100,00 and silver petrucelli bid 1,064,00 the cheapest is not always the best if a company is already familiar with a project and have done good work in the past & the bids are close im not sure if going with a company that is totally unfamiliar with what is going on is the best. they are going to make up every excuse in the book to charge you with extras because they might not know all the ins & out and label every thing an extra thus jacking up the price way high.but on a positive note im glad that they are getting the ball rolling

Seymour should stop the idiocy, they can't afford the curriculum and are cutting even basic staff, and services for our children, but those DULLARDS on the building committee think making a BIG school is going to provide a quality education... COME ON ...GET REAL...

there is a 1/4 million dollar shortfall in this years budget that the school board can't make up because they are already at bare bones.

Seymour more needs to spend these construction dollars more wisely. Spend the $$$ on the quality of the education. Children learn from having caring trained qualified teachers, books, & computers. A bigA## building will not fix the school scores.

Its a disturbing trend, cut, cut, cut, the education budget every single fiscal year for the last 5 years straight.
