12 years of planning and community education = New High School for Concord Carlisle

At last -- local community activists' good work doing public education that made the decision process open and transparent was successful.  Here is the article from the Globe in part. 

After more than 12 years of planning, Concord and Carlisle may have a new high school in 2015.

Residents in the two towns voted yesterday to support a tax increase to pay for a new $92.5 million Concord-Carlisle Regional High School.

In both towns, 84 percent of the voters supported the Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclusion, while 16 percent were opposed. In Concord, the vote was 3,571 to 659 in favor, while Carlisle voted 965 to 184.

“On behalf of all the building committee and School Committee members over the past 12 years, I would like to thank the citizens of Concord and Carlisle for their overwhelming support of education,’’ said Jerry Wedge, a member of the Concord-Carlisle Regional School Committee and the high school building committee.
