Racine Unified Move Cost Taxpayers Extra, But Will Mean Savings Long-term
Complete report due out next month.
A report of the ’s expenditures on its move to the new Administrative Center, at 3109 Mt. Pleasant St., will be complete in November, Hazen said.
Current statements show expenditures of $330,862 over the budgeted $5.95 million for the move. But, Hazen said, while the district may be over budget on expenditures, it invested more money because it saw the potential for more savings.
“I want to be held accountable for our projections,” Hazen said. “It would make sense to invest $300,000 [in expenditures] to get $1.4 million [in savings].”
