The school deferred capital projects, paused a $100,000 OPEB contribution, and reduced costs by roughly $1.5 million from initial proposals. NVTHS also plans a feasibility study for HVAC replacement, estimated at $600,000 to $900,000, to be funded from the school's $1.5 million stabilization fund with anticipated 55 percent MSBA reimbursement.
