Educational Video #13 on the Coakley Middle School project includes information on voting for the new Coakley Middle School.
Norwood residents will vote on the project’s associated Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclusion at Town Meeting on Monday, March 14. If the project passes that vote, it will move on to a ballot vote on Monday, April 4. If the project passes both votes it will enter MSBA’s Module 6: Project Scope and Budget Phase, and then will proceed with design development and construction bid procurement. The proposed Coakley Middle School would open in the fall of 2025.
If either or both votes do not pass, the town has until June to pass both town votes. If the vote fails for a second time, the town will forfeit the maximum amount – $46 million – in grant funds from the MSBA and will be required to withdraw from the MSBA grant program altogether.
