A group of Swampscott residents has officially launched a Save Our Schools campaign against the town's proposed 900-student elementary school that voters will, at some point, weigh in on. The ballot-question committee is also hiring a lawyer for its fight.
“We’re for smaller schools for smaller children,” said Gail Brock, who chairs the Save Our Schools ballot committee. “We’re for sharing the traffic and congestion that occurs around the schools and for preserving the wetlands and endangered specials that live in the area.”
