A Call for Members for a new Elementary School Building Committee

We have a responsibility to our students to provide for them the best education possible and this includes a facility that is conducive to learning.  Unfortunately, the Lamprey Elementary School building is over-crowded and, in its current state, does not meet our educational needs. Our solution in the past has been to rent portable buildings- these, too, are inadequate. 

Previous Building Committees have researched and collected all the information necessary to make an informed decision about what the next steps should be for our children.  For this reason, the School Board has committed to convening a new Building Committee to examine these materials and do any research necessary to present a solution for the elementary school issues to the Board.

We are asking for interested community members, parents and teachers to write a letter to the School Board and apply to be a member on the new Building Committee.  These letters can be addressed to:

Raymond School Board
SAU #33
43 Harriman Hill Road
Raymond, NH 03077

The School Board will choose the committee members at their May 6, 2015 Board meeting- please make sure that your letter is received by April 30th for consideration to be on this committee.  The make-up of the committee will be as follows:  2 Raymond citizens; 2 parents; 2 teachers; 1 School Board member; the Facilities Director, Todd Ledoux; Principal Dan Legallo; Business Administrator Ron Brickett; and Ellen Small, Superintendent.
