LISBON — Residents approved a $6 million bond for repairs to the Philip W. Sugg Middle School on Tuesday.

The tally was 2,993 to 1,868.

The 25-year bond carries a 6% interest rate with accrued interest less than $5.6 million, bringing the total to about $11.6 million.

Lisbon School Department Superintendent Richard Green told councilors during a special meeting in September that the school’s enrollment is growing and areas in the building are too small. Areas such as the gym, library and kitchen will be expanded, along with other renovations.
