O’Gara On Wednesday, June 15, the Millis Elementary School Building Committee meeting the Committee unanimously voted on the 1C3 school building option as the preferred choice for the Preferred Schematic Report that will be submitted to the MSBA in August. The meeting and the discussion and vote can be viewed at http://www.millismedia.org/node/235. “After months of hard work the project team consisting of members of the Elementary School Building Committee (ESBC), Compass Project Management, and Tappe Architects were pleased to come up with a preferred choice in a fiscally responsible manner that meets the educational programing needs of the Millis Public Schools. The process was collaborative involving input from the community as well as teachers and staff at multiple times. The ESBC looks forward to an endorsement vote of the Board of Selectman and the School Committee so we can submit our plan to the MSBA. There is a lot of work to be done but we are pleased with reaching another milestone,” says Steven Catalano, ESBC and School Committee member. The MSBA had required Millis to look at both renovations to the existing school, renovations plus additions to the existing school or the replacement of the school. The C3 option was one of two replacement options presented. It places a new elementary school where current van parking, tennis and basketball courts are located. This option allows for separation of bus and car drop offs, increasing safety, and connects green space together between schools. The building itself would represent an education vision plan for the Clyde Brown that includes increased safety, bright lighting, public space and an arts hub on the first floor and a second floor with central zones for project based learning, individual study and group study. A baseball field, tennis court and basketball court would need to move to the current location of the Clyde Brown School. During the meeting, a hopeful timeline was discussed. Now that Millis Elementary School Building Committee has chosen an option, the MSBA board will meet and hopefully approve the preferred schematic in September. At the November 2016 town meeting, a necessary land swap that was begun at the spring town meeting would need to be approved in order to have the state transfer the land in time. Final approval by the MSBA would be needed in March of 2017, and then in May of 2017, provided all necessary approvals are secured, a townwide meeting would vote on the project, with a ballot question on a debt exclusion.
