Community Forums Change

Date change ...

Community Forum from tonight, Monday October 25th to next week, Monday, November 1st. (explained below.) 

What is all the hub bub?

If I haven't read anything or need information what should I read?   

Taken From the Natick Engage email this week:  

I (Dr. Nolin) advise reading the in depth report on Facilities, Space and Capital Planning, or, if you have less time, this Executive Summary. Discussions will occur on 10/18, 11/1, 11/15 at a minimum.

*****

Quick links to items that you can find in the above documents: 

Link to FACILITIES DEPARTMENT STEWARDSHIP REPORT presented to School Committee on 10/18.

Chart Overviewing the Findings/Analysis of the TA’s Advisory Committee (Spring 2021) 
(of which I was a part this summer) 

Town of Natick Space Report (2012) (Dorr and Whittier)

*****

Links to Videos on Pegasus from previous meetings to hear discussions on 10/4, 10/18.

If I have questions or comments after I read or watch, what should I do?   

  • Email the School Committee and the Administration at schoolcommittee@natickps.org, 
  • Submit questions via this form, 
  • Contact your School Council Representatives - listed on the home page of every school's website, 
  • sign up to get alerts for public meetings on the Town's website.  
The public process felt more than daunting when I first started, but I hope everyone in Natick will always feel welcome to share thoughts, ask questions, volunteer time and stay involved.

For the details of the debate from tonight on the CPA  and some of the other topics, please see these notes. This is not official nor is it complete. This is simply a best effort to capture what was said.  The Morse Institute, Bacon Free Library passed easily. " The library is the essence of democracy in that people can educate themselves freely."   - heard in debate tonight.  Capital Plan, passed after questions about:  Changing our police vehicles to hybrid and/or electric when available Why we change 20% of our cruiser fleet every year (hard use of vehicles)  The Stand Up Gas powered Blower had a few moments in the spot light - it was identified that while it is noisy, Natick has no Noise ordinance and while electric models are available, the batteries do not last enough.  Ladder truck...
