Mayor
Joseph A. Curtatone, Superintendent of Schools Anthony Pierantozzi,
Ward 1 Alderman Bill Roche and Ward 1 School Committee Representative
Maureen Bastardi have announced the creation of an East Somerville
Community School Advisory Group to consult with City and school
officials and provide input on planning and construction issues
associated with the ongoing effort to rebuild the East Somerville
Community School. The Advisory Group will include parents, neighbors
and other members of the ESCS family. Residents interested in serving
on the Group should submit a letter of interest by email
(JBaker@somervillema.gov) or postal mail to Mayor's Aide Jessie Baker
by Wednesday, April 27th or call her directly at 617-625-6600 x2104.
(The postal address is Jessie Baker, Office of the Mayor, City Hall, 93
Highland Avenue, Somerville MA 02143.) Mayor Curtatone will announce
the Advisory Group composition and date of the first meeting on May 1,
2009.
"The City and school department have been working
diligently to secure the necessary funding and conduct selective
demolition over the last year, and now that the City has been awarded
$12 million by the Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, I am eager to begin
working with the Advisory Group," said Ward 1 Alderman Bill Roche.
"Though we've made a lot of progress, there is still much to do to
bring the entire ESCS community together again."
"We know that
parents, teachers, and students alike are eager to see this Group
formed and moving toward final design plans, and we all hope to do so
as soon as possible," said Ward 1 School Committee Representative
Maureen Bastardi, who also Chairs the Committee. "The ESCS community
has been strong, positive, and supportive through a very difficult
time, and I commend you all for your efforts, and promise we will bring
you back home soon."
