The School Building Advisory Committee (SBAC) of Cape Elizabeth conducted a series of meetings in March 2023, primarily focusing on formulating a roadmap towards presenting a school building proposal in the November 2024 referendum. The foundational meeting on March 2nd emphasized establishing committee operational norms and planning forthcoming actions, such as formulating the committee budget and appointing an owner’s representative in April. Ensuring community involvement and insight was a recurring theme, with strategies like engaging communication channels and implementing a community survey being explored and refined in subsequent sessions. Moving forward, the SBAC remains dedicated to maintaining an open, transparent process, prioritizing community engagement and feedback in shaping the future of the town’s school buildings.
The SBAC’s decision to move forward with the interview process for the owner’s representative on March 30th, solidified its commitment to propel the project while the committee continued to educate itself with respect to the history of the schools, understanding present conditions and recent efforts to address the aging schools, and the educational future needs of Cape Elizabeth.
