LETTER: Thanks for Supporting Elementary School Progress

Dear Editor,

We would like to thank Town Meeting for the confidence expressed in the unanimous vote on Article 17, funding a feasibility study to address the constraints at Center School. 

Our goal on the Elementary School Building Committee is to develop a solution that will be actively embraced by the community; achieving this will require your continued active involvement. At our upcoming meetings we will focus on developing and publishing a timeline for community engagement, even as we await a formal project selection response from the MSBA.

Thanks to your involvement, your confidence expressed at Town Meeting, and to the partnership to date with the Board of Selectmen and School Committee, we find ourselves at a favorable new starting point as we look ahead to identify the best solution for Hopkinton’s youngest students.

Whether you have been able to get involved yet or not, we invite you to do so now: please stay informed, connect with us, send questions and feedback, and attend upcoming meetings. Here are some resources to help stay informed, find out about meetings, and contact us:
