Article 2: Authorization of the Town Manager or Superintendent of Schools Regarding Contracts in Excess of Three Years.


Massachusetts Law only allows municipalities to enter into a contract of up to three years without permission of Town Meeting.  This article allows the Town Manager and Superintendent to sign contracts of longer than three years with the Select Board's or School Committee’s approvals.  Towns will sometimes opt for longer contracts in order to lock in attractive pricing or for a lease.  For instance, the Select Board just voted to allow a five year contract to rent the town’s postage machine in order to take advantage of the best pricing.

WHAT’S UP WEDNESDAY – April 20, 2022

FAQ: What happens with the students during construction?

  • Projects will be done in 2-3 phases. Although this will ultimately take longer for construction to be completed, the health and safety of the students is our top priority.
  • A plan will be established during the design and construction phases of each project to make sure students and staff are completely separated from contractors.
  • The Kittredge School will be the easiest because the school can be built, children can move in and then the old building can be demolished and construction completed.
