Wayland override would pay for new fields, updated technology at schools

Boston Globe 3/6/11: Wayland override would pay for new fields, updated technology at schools. Wayland residents will be asked to borrow $880,000 this year to build new grass playing fields and update technology in the schools, but the projects won’t increase their tax bills. Town officials said that property tax bills taxes will go down by an average of $20 even if the borrowing request is approved. The Board of Selectmen voted Monday night to approve placing a debt-exclusion override question on this spring’s ballot. The question asks residents to support borrowing $880,000 over an eight-year period to pay for two all-purpose athletic fields at the middle school, a feasibility study for playing fields at other recreational sites in town, and technology in the schools including laptops and servers, said Town Administrator Fred Turkington.
