School Needs to be Addressed by School Committee

A list of capital needs and improvements for the Mansfield Public Schools will be up for discussion when the school committee meets Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Town Hall.

The discussing is expected to expand on initial talks during a Sept. 29 workshop. A report commissioned by the town said the schools will need about $17.5 million in capital improvements over the next 10 years.

During the workshop, School Director of Finance and Operations Edward Vozzella said there are three tiers of priorities, with heating, ventilation, and window replacements taking the top spot according to the Mansfield News.

Wireless internet, new outdoor bleachers at Mansfield High School, a loading dock at Qualters Middle School, and asbestos removal Roland Green were some of the second tier items.
