Millis committee hears MSBA preconstruction update; superintendent reports enrollment and principal search
Summary
Staff said MSBA preconstruction work is underway with permitting and variances being discussed and a projected March 2027 construction start; Superintendent Milaney reported May enrollment (total in-district 1,173) and that 22 candidates applied for the middle-school principal opening.
Millis School Committee members received a Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) preconstruction update and a superintendent's report on enrollment and the middle-school principal search at the May 12 meeting.
Superintendent Milaney said architects and representatives (including Frontier) are conducting preconstruction activities: inspecting areas such as the boiler room and doors for salvage, gathering information for permitting, and consulting with the plumbing inspector about possible bathroom-count variances. "Shovels are supposed to be in the ground March 2027," Superintendent Milaney said, describing the current timeline for construction start.
In the superintendent report the district's May enrollment totals were presented: Clyde Brown elementary at 597 students (down three), middle and high school numbers unchanged, total in-district enrollment at 1,173 and in-and-out enrollment reported as 1,195; the number of choice students remained at 49. Milaney also updated the middle-school principal search: the application deadline passed with 22 candidates; screening and interview teams are forming and a community survey has been circulated to gather input.
Staff also summarized third-quarter collaborative financial reports, noting stability despite inflation and transportation pressures; the committee acknowledged the updates and thanked visitors and staff for their work.
