Nauset – In January 2021, it had been reported by numerous media outlets
that it had received two extended high school project extensions from MSBA (partially pandemic related). Nauset had hoped to receive a 3rd extension in January 2021, but seemed nervous about taking that step. MSBA s Jack McCarthy was quoted as saying that the district never asked for a third extension and he guessed they made an assumption (presumably that it would have been denied).
Lowell – District records show that in 2018, MSBA allowed it to resubmit a new Preferred Schematic Report with a change to a downtown site and an addition/renovation for its new high school. Less than six months later, a new PSR was approved by MSBA.
