Letter: Three reasons to support new Westport school

Posted

To the editor:

Three reasons to support the Westport School Building Committee’s plan …

1.Building two new schools together as one on the former middle school site is more cost-efficient, less disruptive, and more educationally-sound than renovating and/or adding on to existing buildings.

2. This plan most likely is Westport’s only opportunity to receive $38 million of funding from the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

3. Whether we have children in the schools or not, it’s our duty as citizens to provide quality public education for all our students in order to strengthen the future of our town and that of our democracy.
