Letter: New Greylock an Investment in Future
Letter to the Editor,
11:00AM / Thursday, September 05, 2024

To the Editor:

With all the drama around the November elections, politics can become overwhelming for some of us, and it can be easy to tune out anything associated with the word "vote." But on Oct. 8, North Adams residents have a unique opportunity to directly, and positively, impact the city's future generations.

It's no secret North Adams' schools are in need of renovations. Adding to that, it's self-evident that schools with poor infrastructure aren't as encouraging of better performing students and better test results. Declining to give the city's children an improved school would be equal to denying them a healthier, safer environment to learn.

Letter: Vote Yes for the Future of North Adams Students
Letter to the Editor,
11:00AM / Thursday, September 05, 2024

To the Editor:

On Tuesday, Oct. 8, North Adams voters will be asked to support or reject an investment of $19.6 million in local funding toward the construction of a new $65.4 million prekindergarten to second grade school in the neighborhood where Greylock Elementary School now stands. As community members, neighbors, and taxpayers our choice will determine the future of education in the city, and the experience of North Adams students and educators, for at least the next 50 years.

A YES vote moves the project forward and secures the $42.2 million in state funding committed to build a new school in North Adams.

A NO vote cancels the project.

This project has been thoughtfully planned
