Mansfield Schools to Recieve over $1.6 Million in State Grants

The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) will be processing the remainder of the Fiscal Year 2012 Prior Grant quarterly payments during the month of the December, 2011. 

The Mansfield school district will be receiving a total of a little under $1.7 million. The high school will get $712,357, Qualters will get $625,330, and the district will also receive $352,685 for a new elementary school campus.

Over $200 million will be doled out across the Commonwealth with the aim of aiding cities, towns  and regional school districts in addressing budgetary obstacles.  Half the towns in Senator Jim  Timilty’s Bristol and Norfolk district received funds from the FY2012 Prior  Grants.  
 
“Education especially public education is the root of the American dream.  I was glad to see that these schools in my district were awarded this MSBA funding, I hope to continue to work with all of my towns in hopes to increase the funding throughout the district,” said Senator Jim Timilty.
