All 16 member towns must vote to approve Minuteman study

Wayland Town Crier 3/16/10: All 16 member towns must vote to approve Minuteman study. All 16 member towns must vote to approve a feasibility study for renovation of the Minuteman Career and Technical High School in Lexington, a school that one Wayland parent calls the "hidden jewel" of the public school system. The high school was constructed in 1974, and since then little money has been allocated for capital improvements on the well-maintained, but aging facility. The $725,000 feasibility study is an all-or-nothing proposition in which each member town must approve the capital request or it won’t move forward. The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) will reimburse the towns for 40 percent of the cost of the study. The cost of the feasibility study to each town over a five-year bond period is based on enrollment from each town. The average annual cost to Lincoln and Weston would be $1,035, Sudbury’s share would be $2,069, and Wayland’s share is $3,930.
