Voters to be Given Look at Roof Rot, Other Maintenance Issues Before Town Meeting

A School Committee subcommittee is hosting a "walk-about” and slideshow inside Winthrop Elementary School one hour before Saturday morning’s Town Meeting in Hamilton.

The intent of the event, put on by the Facilities Working Group stating at 8 a.m., is to show firsthand the damage from deferred maintenance at the school and help voters see the current condition of the school and other maintenance issues in the school district that would be corrected by the proposed $2.075 million bond that will first go before voters at the Hamilton Town Meeting.

The presentation will include a look at the rot in the Winthrop roof, the Cutler Elementary School roof, a new fire suppression system at the Buker Elementary School and other proposed repairs.

The Town Meeting starts at 9 a.m. in the auditorium at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School. A complete copy of the Town Meeting warrant is attached to this story as a PDF.
