“The Ballot Question Committee for Hopkinton’s New Elementary School " announced today that they have submitted papers to the Hopkinton Town Clerk to form a Ballot Question Committee so that they can support the School Committee's efforts, currently underway, to build a new elementary school on Fruit Street.
According to Cindy Bernardo, Chairman of The Ballot Question Committee for Hopkinton’s New Elementary School, the Committee will organize informational neighborhood coffees and events, and promote the School Committee’s Informational Forums so that the community has an opportunity to learn: why this building project is important, why moving to neighborhood schools can provide a beneficial learning environment for our children, and why it is financially advantageous to build a new school now.
The School Committee will be holding its first community forum on Wednesday, January 12, 2011, at 7:00 pm at Center School. Presentations by the School Committee and a tour of Center School will be held. The Ballot Question Committee for Hopkinton’s New Elementary School would like to encourage all residents to attend either a forum, neighborhood coffee, or School Committee office hours over the next 3 months.
A calendar of events, all open to the public, will be available at the Committee’s website www.buildingforhopkinton.org starting on January 7, 2011. Periodic updates will be posted.
