School Building Committee: September 14th, 2026

The Milton School Building Committee held a meeting on September 14, 2026, to discuss ongoing school construction and renovation projects, particularly focusing on the potential acquisition and development of the Laboreet site. The committee reviewed previous meeting minutes and discussed funding strategies, including a $1.2 million article proposed to finance further study of the Laboreet site outside the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) program. They explored options for integrating a pre-kindergarten (preKK) program into the project, the implications of MSBA enrollment requirements, and the potential need for separate procurement of architects and owners project managers (OPMs) if the project proceeds outside MSBA. The committee also reviewed the designer selection process for upcoming projects, emphasizing the importance of aligning design firms' visions with the town's values. A follow-up meeting was scheduled to gather further feedback and prepare for the upcoming town meeting vote on project funding and site acquisition.
