Letter to the editor: New Griswold school is needed
Residents of Griswold are being asked to vote on a $70 million school building project. It is more than obvious the schools are overcrowded and more classrooms are needed to provide a quality education to the children of our community.
In summer 2005, the Space Needs Committee recommended Griswold residents consider several alternatives to meet the growing number of students attending our public school. The next step was to appoint a School Building Committee.
What happened with the recommendation?
The Board of Selectmen that was elected in November 2005 did not act on the recommendation until summer 2006, one full year later. Only the Board of Selectmen can answer as to why it took nine months to appoint a committee to address the needs for the future of our students.
Building classrooms to teach our students is the right choice for Griswold.
