The Portland Board of Education has voted to renovate the Presumpscot School.

Back in 2017, Portland residents voted to allocate $4.3 million dollars towards renovations as a part of the “Buildings for our Future” plan.

According to our news partner CBS 13, Presumpscot is the third school that is slated to start renovations this summer.

Money will be left over after the renovations are complete, and the school board is set to vote on how to spend the extra funds.
