At a recent meeting, the School Board made the decision to continue the Elementary School Building Committee. As you might remember, a warrant article concerning an addition on the elementary school was put to the voters this March. The warrant article failed to pass by 24 votes. I believe this is an indication that townspeople agree that this is necessary for our students. The School Board has asked the Building Committee to continue working with Meridian, the construction company that was chosen for this project, to determine any price changes from the original plan. We will also ask Meridian for two quotes: one with a gym and one without.
In addition, the Building Committee will be considering any details in the plan that need to be addressed in the proposed plan. One example is planning the configuration of the front lobby to make sure visitors are not able to walk directly into the building without signing in and being checked.
We currently have representation from all interested parties: Raymond citizens; parents; teachers; John Harmon, School Board member; the
Facilities Director, Todd Ledoux; Principal Bryan Belanger; Business
Administrator Ron Brickett; and Ellen Small, Superintendent. There is an opening for one additional Raymond citizen on this Committee and we are asking for a volunteer. Meeting dates have not yet been determined and will be decided by the Building Committee as we move forward.
If you are interested in serving on this important committee, please write a letter to the School Board to apply to be a member on the
new Building Committee. Letters of interest should be addressed to:
