Amherst Elementary School Building Project Community Forum

There is a very important question on the November ballot for Amherst Residents.  Ballot Question #5 will ask for a "yes" or "no" vote to decide on whether to consolidate the 3 elementary schools to 2 - one PK-1 at Crocker Farm and a new building at the Wildwood site to house grades 2-6 in two separate wings.  It will affect all children attending the Amherst public elementary schools.  That is, ALL kindergarten and 1st graders would attend Crocker Farm and then they would ALL transition to the school at the Wildwood site.

The school project will require a Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclusion question on the November 8, 2016 State Election ballot for Amherst Voters.

The Amherst League of Women Voters is organizing a forum, scheduled for Wednesday, September 28, 7-9 p.m. in the Amherst Regional Middle School Auditorium, will give the community an opportunity to hear different views. Representatives from The Save Amherst Small Schools, the Bold Amherst Schools, the Building Committee from ARPS and the Amherst Finance Committee will speak.
