It's great to say we have options, but they have to be real options, right?
Let's face it, if school building aid isn't available, a new school (or a renovated school for that matter) isn't really an option.
So, here's what's happening with school building aid: The State Legislature is in the middle of budget negotiations. The Governor presented her budget several weeks ago and then the House passed their budget last week, which includes a continuation of the moratorium on school building aid for TWO more years.
Not exactly good news for Newmarket.
Now the budget is in the hands of the Senate. Lots can happen by the time things get finalized sometime in June.
But people need to speak up.
Senator Martha Fuller Clark will be at the next School Board meeting on April 18th. Please consider attending. Consider making a statement during public comment. Let her hear that this is an issue that Newmarket cares about.
Let's keep our options open.
