WHS Building Project: 

MAJOR MILESTONE - PROJECT CONCEPT APPROVAL

The WHS Building Project achieved a major milestone:  The MSBA Board voted to approve the WHS Building Project Concept enabling the project to proceed to schematic design.  This is a significant step forward and one which was achieved with great collaborative effort.
 
Committee 21 has followed the proceedings of these summer months very closely.  While there have been some compromises made, they have been fiscally prudent and fair.  We accept the decisions made and are greatly encouraged by the progress.  Above all, the approved Project Concept enables a High School building which meets the educational program of today and into the future, greatly exceeding the capability of the current facility.
 
Progress will continue at a rapid pace as the School Building Committee readies a comprehensive project submission to the MSBA mid-September.  An important meeting is scheduled for August 20 at 7:30pm in Town Hall to review progress drawings of floor plans and exterior concepts. This will be the opportunity to provide feedback on the final designs of the project.  We encourage you to attend this meeting. Additional important dates are noted in the column to the right.
