LINCOLN – During a closed-door session Tuesday on the performance and possible employment termination of an undisclosed employee, former Town Clerk Monique Clauson, who was arrested in December and subsequently placed on leave from her job, slipped out of the room and quietly exited Town Hall.
Clauson, who served as town clerk and municipal court clerk, was arrested in December on charges of misappropriating approximately $69,000 in town funds for her personal use between 2011 and 2020.
She was placed on leave after her arrest while State Police investigated the matter.
Prior to her departure from the building Tuesday, she and attorneys met with councilors for nearly an hour.

LINCOLN – After meeting in executive session to discuss the potential sale of the former Fairlawn Elementary School on Tuesday, Lincoln’s Town Council members remained tight-lipped about the status of the deal.
The council voted unanimously on Tuesday to “instruct the council president to act as directed in executive session” regarding the sale of the school.
What, exactly, Council President Keith Macksoud has been asked to do, remains unclear. Pressed for more information after the meeting, Macksoud told The Breeze he could not say any more on the matter.

Athletic center, concession stand, among goals
LINCOLN – Among the projects Lincoln school leaders are looking to invest in are a new student athletic center and concession stand, relocating the school district’s administrative offices, selling Fairlawn School and a potential addition to Lonsdale Elementary.
There are stipulations involved with each, but school officials doubled-down on their commitment to the list of goals during Monday’s School Committee meeting. The ultimate objective, they said, is to complete the projects with little to no additional taxpayer funding.
The town is expecting to have about $6.7 million in reimbursement funds available to spend as a result of the Lincoln High School renovation/construction project. Bond premium money is being earmarked for each of the following projects, except for the concession stand and Fairlawn School sale.
