On Oct. 3 the Massachusetts School Building Authority awarded $3.1 million to Melrose High School for the construction of nine new science labs.
The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) recently awarded $3.1 million to Melrose High School for the construction of new science labs, according to a report on the Boston Globe website. On Oct. 3 the MSBA also signed off on plans for a new elementary school in Georgetown and renovation of a middle school in Newburyport, according to the Globe. In June, Melrose was chosen along with nine other public high schools to receive funding under the MSBA’s Science Labratory Initiative, through which $60 million in federal stimulus money is being used to reimburse school districts with a percentage of the project’s cost, reads the Globe report. The Melrose grant will cover nearly 50 percent of the total project budget of $6.5 million, the…

Initially pegged at $1.5 to $1.8 million, building new Melrose High School science labs will probably cost around $3.3 million, Melrose City Planner told the aldermen.
The cost of building new science labs at Melrose High School could be more than double than what the city originally projected, Melrose City Planner Denise Gaffey told the aldermen last Thursday. In early June, when Melrose received word it had been selected for a new science labs grant program by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), Mayor Rob Dolan said a "back of the envelope" estimate put the total cost of the project at $1.5-$1.8 million dollars. When city officials voted to send a statement of interest to the MSBA in January, city officials had a rough cost estimate of $1.2 million. But at the aldermen's meeting last Thursday night, when the board unanimously approved a $153,000 bond for design and project management …

The Massachusetts School Building Authority will pay for half the cost of building new science labs at Melrose High School, an estimated $1.5-$1.8 million project.
Melrose is one of nine communities selected to receive state funding through a new short-term grant program designed specifically to help Massachusetts high schools address deficiencies in their science labs, Mayor Rob Dolan said yesterday. The new grant program by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) is $60 million of "one-time funding" that the MSBA is earmarking solely for science labs. Dolan said building the new science labs at Melrose High School will cost approximately $1.5-$1.8 million dollars, a "back of the envelope" estimate because design work hasn't started yet. Whatever the final total amount of the project, the MSBA will pay for half. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act—commonly called the federal …

The bond would pay for design and project management services. The total cost of the renovations at Melrose High School could cost up to $7 million, with the city on the hook for $5-5.5 million of that.
The aldermen's Appropriations Committee on Monday night unanimously recommended the city's request to borrow $250,000 for design and project management services for what city officials say would be a three-year renovation project at Melrose High School. Mayor Rob Dolan has repeatedly said in recent months that renovations of the 36-year-old building is his primary goal, a point he reiterated to the committee Monday night. Last June, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) placed Melrose High School on warning status in part due to the aging building's condition. "This is the first financial commitment I’m asking the Board of Aldermen to pay to implement a program I believe, over the next four years, is going to be the …

The Massachusetts School Building Authority would pay a little more than half the cost of creating new science labs at Melrose High School.
The Melrose Board of Aldermen and School Committee both unanimously voted this week to send a statement of interest to the state regarding a new short-term grant program designed specifically to help Massachusetts high schools address deficiencies in their science labs. Melrose High School's science labs were one of the building condition items cited by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) when it placed the school on warning status last spring. The accreditation agency report noted "inoperable hoods in some science labs that do not meet code and are labeled 'Do Not Use.'" At Tuesday night's School Committee meeting, Melrose City Planner Denise Gaffey told the committee that the new grant program by the Massachusetts …
