Important Updates
There are two important updates I wish to share:
Contamination behind the Community/
Recreation Center and the Field School
As you know, we have been dealing with the discovery of contaminated s
oil behind the Community Center and the Field School since school started. It was necessary to conduct a series of tests in order to identify the limits of contamination surrounding the initial test pits.
Green Seals, the engineering firm has now analyzed these tests and is confident that the extent of the contamination is known. The next step is to contract for the removal of soil, which we anticipate will take place in June when school is out. We will plan an informational session for parents in early spring to outline the process. Here is a link to the Green Seal report: and a map of soil sample locations.
Recommended Budget for 2012-2013
On Monday, January 9, I presented my recommended FY ’13 budget to the School Committee. It supports an on-going high quality preK-12 program for students, while reflecting a responsible rate of growth. The next steps are budget hearings, which are scheduled for January 23 and 26 at Case House. Both meetings begin at 8:00 AM and the agendas are posted. These meetings provide an opportunity for members of the School Committee to review each section of the budget, which can be accessed on line here.
Your input is important to me. Do not hesitate to call, email or make an appointment to meet with me.
