Building education

Boston Globe 8/28/11: Building education. When new high schools open in Wayland and Wellesley this winter, they will be kicking off the largest wave of new high schools in area communities since the state lifted a moratorium on construction projects in 2007. Next up are Natick High School, due for completion in June; Tahanto Regional Middle/High School, slated to open during the 2012-2013 school year, and Maynard High School, projected to come on line in the fall of 2013. Other area districts with new high schools working their way through the state’s funding pipeline include Ayer-Shirley, Concord-Carlisle, Franklin, Marlborough, and the Minuteman regional vocational system. “The current school was built over 50 years ago,” said Lea Anderson, chairwoman of Wayland’s high school building committee. “It was just very small and crowded for the program we were offering.
