Superintendent Says New High School is the Way to Go

It will be a few years before the opening of a new or renovated Stoughton High School, but Superintendent Marguerite Rizzi is backing a new building.

Rizzi recently told the Boston Globe that she believes a new building is the way to go.

The aggressive timeline for the project has the town receiving the go ahead by June 2016.

Based on the timeline presented to town meeting, a preliminary design report is due in September with preferred schematics to be unveiled in December. The design report will list the possible options for the high school, with the preferred schematics to present the preferred solution.

Next January, the MSBA’s board will vote on the schematics. The project’s scope and budget, along with funding from the MBDA will be reviled in April.

A vote by the MSBA and presentation/vote at town meeting will take place in May, 2016.

Finally, a debt exclusion vote will be held on June 2016.

Members of the public that would like to participate in the project will have multiple chances to do. A community forum is scheduled for June 6.
