Memorial School Building Committee Fall Community Meeting Schedule

Memorial School Building Committee Fall Community Meeting Schedule
Building project update and opportunity to ask questions about design, budget, timeline and process!

September 26th
  • Memorial School 9:00am
  • Essex Elementary 7:00pm


October 10th

The Memorial School Building Committee has completed the Schematic Design for a proposed new Memorial Elementary school and the MSBA has approved the project, scope, and budget.  The next step in the process is to bring the project forward to the community for local approval.  Each town needs to vote twice - once at Fall Town Meeting and once at the ballot.

  • Manchester Town Meeting: October 15th
  • Essex Town Meeting: October 16th
  • Both towns at the ballot: November 6th


If the community supports the Memorial School Project, construction will begin in the summer of 2019 and end in the fall/winter of 2021, with students in their new classroom spaces by fall of 2020.
