What you can do

West Hill School’s roof is in disrepair as a result of a lack of investment in the Capital Improvement Fund. As a result, the roof will often leak when it rains. In addition to damaging the building itself, a damp building is harmful to the health of students and teachers. Please speak at public comment to ask the town prioritize the capital improvement fund, and specifically to prioritize the rebuilding of the roof.
