Summary

Board leaders said the selection process was transparent and stressed that the school building committee will meet publicly, with meeting notes and recordings made available so residents can follow the multi-year project.

First Selectman and other board members said committee work will be public and that meeting notes and recordings will be kept to ensure community access and oversight. "I know the meetings will be public. Everything will be out there. We'll be keeping meeting notes as well," the First Selectman said.

Speakers urged residents to stay engaged and attend meetings rather than expressing concerns only privately, noting the project will span several years and will require ongoing public participation. The board framed public transparency as central to managing a large local capital program.
