At the January 12, 2026 Board of Selectmen meeting the board reviewed the contracting of the elementary school's bathroom renovation. The project had been expected to go out to a competitive request for proposals, but had become a design-build arrangement in which the school's engineering firm sought to act as general contractor and roll the trades into a single bid (~36:33, ~1:04:41). The school board's dedicated bathroom committee meeting of January 5, 2026 records the project's origin, a leak in May 2024 that proved to be a larger drainage failure, and the move to seek additional contractor bids.
