Pittsfield School Project Panel Sets Session on Taconic Project
 |
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Superintendent of Schools Jason McCandless is inviting and encouraging the community to attend a meeting at Reid Middle School on Monday, March 23, at 6 p.m. to learn more about the proposed rebuilding of Taconic High School.
Sponsored by the Reid Middle School PTO, the meeting will offer attendees an opportunity to learn about the final design unanimously approved by the School Building Needs Commission on March 16.
The $121 million project would replace the current 60-year-old structure and be built on the same property on Valentine Road. The older building would be demolished once the new school opened in 2018. The City Council is expected to vote whether to borrow for the project in April. It would be presented to the Massachusetts School Building Authority in June.
McCandless, state Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier and members of the School Building Needs Commission will discuss the design, how the project will be financed and answer questions that people might have about the project. Parents and the larger community will be able to see the updated architectural illustrations and learn how they can get involved in the project.
