MSBA Board Approves Shaker Lane School Building Project Budget

Following the recent budget approval from the Massachusetts School Building Authority Board of Directors, the Shaker Lane School Building Project moved into the MSBA’s Detailed Design phase.

During this phase, the District and its project team develop the full construction documents needed to move the project forward, while the MSBA monitors progress to ensure it aligns with the Project Funding Agreement.

The MSBA reviews the work against its contract requirements for both the Owner’s Project Manager and Designer, and assigns a Commissioning Consultant to oversee a rigorous quality assurance process.

This ensures that the final building will operate efficiently, meet expectations, and align with the District’s goals.

The community's authorization is the next crucial step. Residents must approve the project and its funding through two upcoming votes:

October 28, 2025 – Special Town Meeting: A warrant article will be presented to approve the building of a new Shaker Lane School. Your vote is crucial in shaping the future of our school.

November 1, 2025 - Debt Exclusion Vote
