Select Board members reviewed the draft Town Meeting warrant and said the schedule is tight as school assessment numbers and advisory committee timelines converge.

A speaker said the regional school assessment is to be delivered by April 1, and noted the advisory committee wants to hold its public hearing April 14; the advisory committee requires seven days of advertisement, which squeezes the board’s timeline for finalizing and mailing warrant materials. Board members discussed publishing the warrant online as soon as possible and deciding whether to mail printed copies.

Board members flagged several warrant articles for attention: a proposed conservation restriction on a 1.4‑acre portion of a North Road parcel (article cited as Article 29 in discussion), a parking‑area design and associated easement on North Road, and items submitted by the regional school district including a Green Meadows parking lot repair and a fire‑road extension. Select Board members expressed concern that safety and building needs at some schools (locks, doors, flooring) may warrant higher priority than parking or equipment requests.

The board noted there are roughly 30–35 warrant articles under consideration, and members agreed to finalize timing for signature and publication at the next meeting. No formal changes to the warrant were made at the March 24 meeting.

Ending: Town staff and board members said they will aim to have warrant materials posted online in the coming week and will meet again to finalize publication and signature procedures.
