Weekly Buzz | Share Your Feedback With School Building Committee Tonight

Hello, Burlington! I hope you enjoyed the gorgeous weekend! It was great to see so many of you yesterday at Truck Day. After finishing the Schools In-Depth and spending a glorious day outside with my closest neighbors, I wasn’t able to get the weekly out yesterday. Here it is, a day late but worth the wait.

I wanted to remind you that there are three vacancies on Town Meeting, one in Precinct 2 and two in Precinct 7. Read more about your opportunity to join the town’s legislative body, and then (if you are in Precinct 2 or 7) contact your precinct representatives and the Town Clerk, Amy Warfield, to let them know you’d like to be considered for the post. Then, plan to come to Grand View farm on Tuesday evening as current precinct members vote for their choice to join them.

I also wanted to let you know that, while it lands in your inbox every morning, the Buzz is more than an email. Everything I’ve ever sent out is on the website at www.burlington.buzz, including issues from before you became a member. The site is searchable and as organized as 575 days of emails can be, and you can refer back to it at any time. So if, for example, you wanted to go to the Community Meeting tonight about the Elementary School Building Project, you could refer back to Saturday’s very in-depth story on the history of Burlington schools*, and you could also use the search function or the Schools tag to find previous writeups on the school building process.

That meeting, again, is tonight at 7:00 PM in the Burlington High School auditorium. You can also watch it virtually (Meeting # (Access Code): 2349 279 6215; Password: Burlington) or on BCAT’s Facebook Page.

*These Buzz In-Depth explainers are a perk for paying Hive members, but I’m leaving this one unlocked until after the Community Meeting so that every single community member can become informed and participate. Please share with everyone you know in Burlington.
