Mass. School Building Authority Invites Stoughton to Launch SHS Feasibility Study

The Massachusetts School Building Authority board announced on Wednesday that it has invited Stoughton to take part in a feasibility study in an effort to weigh solutions to “deficiencies identified at Stoughton High School,” according to an announcement by the MSBA.

“We are committed to working with Stoughton officials to find the best alternative for the Stoughton High School,” State Treasurer Steven Grossman, MSBA Chair, said in a statement. “This collaboration will develop a cost-effective solution that ensures Stoughton residents can develop and flourish in a state-of-the-art, 21st Century learning environment.”

Stoughton school officials previously identified the aforementioned deficiencies in such building systems as HVAC and electrical.

Earlier this year, the MSBA invited the Stoughton school district into an eligibility period for the project, which is the first step in receiving state money to help pay for school-related projects.

In March, the Stoughton School Committee sought residents with architecture, engineering and/or construction experience to join as members of the School Building Committee regarding the proposed rebuilding of the school.

“The feasibility study will carefully examine all potential solutions to help us develop the most effective plan,” MSBA Executive Director Jack McCarthy said in a statement. “We look forward to partnering with the district to move this potential project forward.”
