Facilities Advisory Committee
DRA Presentation: potential solutions to space issue
On Wednesday January 2nd, the Milton School Committee welcomed Carl Franceschi and Paul Moore from Drummy Rosane Anderson (DRA) to present preliminary findings and potential solutions on our space and enrollment issue. The presentation was informative and interactive as School Committee members discussed possible solutions. I urge all Milton residents to take the time to watch the recorded version of the meeting, which is available on Milton Access TV. The powerpoint presentation can be found here.
At the Wednesday, January 16th School Committee Meeting, there will be an extended Citizens Speak on Space as well as a follow up presentation by DRA with more details
On Wednesday, January 23rd at 7pm, there will be an Open Forum on Space during the School Committee meeting. All are invited to attend and participate. The January 23rd School Committee meeting will be held in the Cunningham School Library. Please note that unlike Citizens Speak, the Open Forum will allow the opportunity for an exchange between citizens and Milton School Committee members.
District Wide School Registration
Brad Spindle will be handling District Wide Registration for Milton Public Schools. As Mr. Spindle will still be responsible for Milton High School’s Main Office, Registration will be by appointment only. To reach Mr. Spindle regarding School Registration, please call 617-696-4470 ext. 5610 or registration@miltonps.org.
