Alice, thank you for the link to the Lincoln Squirrel article. And thanks to the one person who suggested I opt in to receive what information the committee has posted about its meetings.
My questions, however, remain unanswered - no one has offered a response on LT or thru personal email - and, yes, I have checked the spam folder. More surprisingly, my questions have sparked no dialogue - NONE - which is truly an anomaly with this town and this forum. Lincoln? Bueller? The School Project Building Committee clearly set the bar with communications and community engagement to lead a project through to a successful town vote. Even at the earliest stages, I easily recall the wide public notifications given of architect interviews - which I attended and participated in. So it begs the question - why is this process so markedly different? - especially as it necessarily will require the same town vote and approval?
