Pollard Project Town Boards Summit, 9/25/25

Seven town boards and committees convened on September 25 to consider whether the DeFazio site should be removed from the list of potential locations for a new Pollard Middle School. After hearing each group’s deliberations, the School Building Committee or the Permanent Public Building Committee, which oversees the project, voted to continue studying all seven options, including three that involves the Defazio site.
