Memorial Buddy Bench in the name of Renee True to be installed at MECC
The tragic and unexpected loss of Renee True, a Middleboro resident and mini-bus driver with Middleborough Public Schools, has left a deep hole in the hearts of all who knew her. As family, friends and co-workers battle with these profound emotions, many have asked for a way to remember this amazing woman and the positive impact she’s had on the community.
The Middleboro Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) will be collecting donations to create a memorial for Renee. The recently updated FFA guidelines do not allow for a traditional memorial or marker to be placed on school property. Instead, the group presented a proposal for a buddy bench as a tribute, which was approved by both Superintendent Lynch and the Middleborough School Committee.
MIDDLEBORO It was revealed at the January 14 Middleborough School Committee meeting that the highly-anticipated move-in date for the new Middleborough High School building would be delayed until at least April.
Completion of the new high school building has been delayed due to an outbreak of positive cases of COVID-19 reported on the job site, according to Superintendent Brian Lynch.
Lynch stated that work has slowed to a grinding pace” at the site due to numerous sub-contractors contracting the virus.
“Tradesmen are coming from all over. There’s been significant spread between workers,” explained Lynch.
Lynch also stated, as was highlighted at a recent High School Building Committee meeting building, delays have also been the result of reduced management and working crews being allowed on site, as well as shipping and manufacturing delays.
