This article says “$56 million bond”, but the numbers given aren’t adding up to that. I get 61.9 million:

1.7+3.2+2.8+2.6+5.7+2.6+1.4+2.7+4.2+3.4+2.9+3.7+3.9+3.8+2.8 = 47.4

47.4 + 2+12.5 = 61.9

The article also says Steve Gothberg estimated the cost of repairs. Is he an engineer? Only a registered professional engineer (usually employed by architectural engineering firms) is qualified to estimate projects of this scope. Then we can know these estimates are reasonable. Maybe when it’s all over the school department won’t have to say they’re “going to try to make lemonade out of it”, but I’m not counting on it. https://www.rimonthly.com/2019-rhode-island-red-awards/
