Once again, this is an opportunity to meet members of the School Building Committee (SBC) and learn first-hand the process the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) has established to gain state funds to build a new school in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

Most importantly, this is an opportunity for Town Meeting members and other residents to ask questions of the SBC.  According to Joe Crimmins, chairman of the School Building Committee, “We sincerely hope the Community Forum is well attended.  Many Town Meeting members and others have thanked us for having these meetings prior to the Special Town Meeting scheduled for Monday, Oct. 15th”.
