Tuesday evening (Dec. 10) the
Board of Education held a special meeting to discuss next steps following
defeat of the capital proposal. While there was a relatively large turnout and
a number of public comments both pro and con, it was mostly a reiteration of
previous comments, although there was a lot of pressure to simply resubmit the
proposal unchanged, with the expectation that parents will wake up and vote.
The Board appeared sincerely interested in understanding why
the proposal did not pass. It is not clear what the next steps will be.
The Board’s architect mentioned that he believed the cost of
the gym could be reduced by $500,000 by not increasing the height of the gym,
which was necessary to have a full-size volleyball court.
The next regularly scheduled Board meeting is Jan. 7.
