Various town officials, committee and board members present were intoduced to the voters. ARTICLE I. AMEND SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION ARTICLES To see if the Town will vote to amend the vote take under Article 4 of the February 24,1997 Special Town Meeting by adding lhe words, "and for lhe purpose of const¡ucting a ne\il middle school or remodeling, reconstn¡cting or making extraordinary repairs and additions to the existing middle school, and to appropriate an additional amounE not to exceed the unexpended and uncommitted funds raised under A¡ticle 3l of the 1996 fumual Town Meeting, by trarsfer of these unexpended and uncommitted funds to raise this appropriation", affer the words "existing schools"; or act on anything relative thereto. Submittedby the Sudbury School Committee. SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT: In February 1997, Town Meeting appropriated funds to build a nelv elementary school, and to expand, renovate and repair existing schools (Article 4). This new a¡ticle allows funds from these appropriations to be used to build a new middle school as an altemative to expandingand renovating the existing facility. No additional funding is requested. ïhis article also allows unspent funds appropriated by Town Meeting in April 1996 for exüaordinary school repairs (Article 3l) to be used similarly for new construction. The amount of the April 1996 appropriation not spend immediately on urgent repairs was held for use in the schmls expansion and renovation project, and was used in the calculation of new funds needed in the Febnrary 1997 appropriation. During the last four months, the architectural firm selected for the middle school project has extensively studied design options and costs. The firm has developed an updated cost estin¡ate for new construction that is lower than ttnt used in the initial options analysis performed in late 1996. The firm recommends building a new middle school behind the existing building, rather than expanding and renovating the old facility. Ma¡ch 2. 1998 This article allows the School Committee to pursue the option of a new middle school within the funding limit of existing appropriations. This approach has the potential to reduce the risk of unanticipated costs, shorten the time to achieve full capacity, avoid the ditñculty and expense of phased construction, minimize disnrption of educational activities, and reduce the size of the building needed for the required educational qpace.
