During a May 11 meeting, the Board of Selectmen unanimously authorized Wareham Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Shaver-Hood to submit two statements of interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
Submitting a statement of interest is “the critical first step” in applying to grants for school building repairs, according to the state organization. The statement of interest informs the Massachusetts School Building Authority “about deficiencies that may exist in a local school facility and how those deficiencies inhibit the delivery of the district’s educational program.”
