  • April 10, 2013 Submitted Statement of Interests
     
    The priority Statement of Interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority is the Center School.  The Statement of Interest (SOI) relative to the Elmwood School was submitted to provide the Elementary School Building Committee as many options as possible as they seek a solution for the Center School.  The SOI's were submitted on April 10, 2013.  These are simply statements of conditions and do not specify a solution.  It is the initial notification to the MSBA that Hopkinton is actively seeking their partnership as we develop the right solution for the community.  The submitted SOI's are below.  These will also be available on the ESBC Website.
