# DYRSD Building Committee Meeting 9-17-26

The Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District held a Building Committee meeting on September 17, 2026, focused primarily on the progress and planning of a school construction project under the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) process. Key procurement-related discussions included the ongoing Request for Services (RFS) for selecting a design firm, with 44 firms having pulled the RFS and 13 firms attending a site walk-through. The committee reviewed the designer selection timeline, including submission deadlines in October and panel interviews scheduled for November 3 and 17, 2026. Three local representatives were appointed to participate in the designer selection panel. The meeting also covered the project schedule, including feasibility studies, schematic design submission targeted for August 2028, and local project funding expected in fall 2028. Additionally, the committee discussed the scope of services, including the inclusion of a no-build option and pre-kindergarten program considerations, as well as sustainability goals such as achieving LEED Gold certification. The meeting concluded with plans to form an educational plan task force and to update the committee via email until the next meeting in November.
