And now… Winter Hill School is closed for the rest of the 2023 school year because the building is unsafe 😱. No communicated plans for where the 400 students will go for the rest of the year. This is atrocious @katjballantyne #somerville #somervilleschools

[Chris Dwan (he/him) @somershade1]

Item 67: "That the Administration respond to educator and parent concerns regarding building maintenance and capital improvements for the Winter Hill School."

Yikes.

This morning I was biking home from dropping my son off at school and a car ran me off the road on School street and into the construction site. I'm FINE, shaken up, but I'm wondering WHEN IS THE SOMERVILLE BIKE PATH EXT OPENING? @jake4somerville @somerbikesafety @BenForWard3

[Rachel D. @TheChefdePlunge]

@BenForWard3 @jake4somerville @somerbikesafety Thank you. That’s frustrating news, but at least now we have a new timeline!
