Transportation Forum

On Wednesday night, more than 150 parents, citizens, and district employees attended the forum to respond to the Transportation report which is posted on the district's website. John Flaherty did an excellent job of answering the many questions and concerns.

CCHS Building Project

The final candidates for the Construction Manager at Risk (and construction company) have been selected and will be interviewed by the Building Committee next week. The architects met with the Integrated Design team to discuss sustainability elements, HVAC system, mechanical and electrical systems, the building envelope, National Grid's partnership, commissioning, water use and conservation, storm water and landscape, permitting, building structure, daylighting, PV systems, and interior/exterior finishes. The architects also met with the CCHS faculty/staff to discuss furniture and equipment.

Rivers and Revolutions

An information night was held at CCHS to invite parents and students to consider a new interdisciplinary program, Rivers and Revolutions, that will be offered for juniors and seniors next school year. Michael Goodwin, CCHS teacher, has worked closely with Peter Badalament and CCHS faculty and staff to design an interdisciplinary, experiential program in which students will investigate 8 units of study; Rivers, Revolutions, Air, Fire, Love, Migration, Seasons, and Equilibrium, using rigorous academic content in English, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and the Arts.
