MMA on reopening schools and police reform

Posted on September 26, 2020 | 2 comments

I attended an on-line Massachusetts Municipal Association program on reopening schools and police reforms. The Massachusetts Municipal Association has now made the program available to hear, so I am sharing the link to do so, as I found it instructive.

Good Morning,

Thank you for attending last week’s MSA webinar covering reopening schools and police reform legislation. To view a recording of the webinar, please follow this link: https://www.mma.org/select-boards-discuss-school-reopening-police-reform-legislation/

Additionally, if you have not already done so, please take a few moments to complete this brief evaluation so that we can continue to develop content and trainings that are beneficial to you.

Best,

Isabelle Nichols

Member Services Coordinator

Dale Street School Project Update

PRIORITY DECISIONS MADE 
On August 27, 2020, the School Committee voted unanimously to select the 4-5 grade configuration. It was ultimately decided that the 4-5 grade configuration was the most viable option for the current economic climate. 

On September 16, 2020, the School Building Committee voted to recommend the selection of the Wheelock site for the location of the new school. Of the alternatives presented on the Wheelock site, the committee selected  G1 Alternative as the Preferred Schematic Option.

The School Building Committee will now recommend the Preferred Schematic Option to the Board of Selectmen on September 22, 2020 at 7PM.
