It argues that delaying construction increases cost and that 25 to 30 year usability requires forward thinking, with comparisons to other towns and calls for broad support.

Why I Favor Plan Two for District Schools
A local advocate argues Plan Two best serves all pupils by adding adequate elementary classrooms and expanding the Central building to support junior and senior high needs. Plan One neglects half the elementary students. Plan Three leaves the central building inadequate for arts and shop programs. Twenty-one elementary rooms are needed immediately to house all pupils adequately.
