FRYEBURG — How should SAD 72 proceed in regards to building a new C.A. Snow School?

The Maine Department of Education has approved a school-construction project to replace the existing C. A. Snow Elementary School in Fryeburg and to eliminate the district’s need for portable classrooms.

The Molly Ockett Middle School campus has been approved as the site and what must be decided now is the scope of the project.

The first public meeting to discuss building plans, options and cost will held on Thursday, Aug. 15 in the Molly Ockett Middle School gym at 7 p.m. A PowerPoint presentation will be shown and the School Building Committee will be looking forward to feedback from district citizens.

This meeting will be followed by a series of local public town meetings to assure that every citizen in the district has the chance to learn about the project; to ask questions; and to continue to give the building committee their opinion. Once this process has been completed and feedback has been shared with the SAD 72 school board, the final decision on which school concept will be chosen

This new school will belong to every citizen in the SAD 72 district. It’s important to attend the meeting, to learn what is being planned and to share your views.
