Clark Avenue School Building Committee
CASBC
History & Formation
In 2012, the City of Chelsea and Chelsea Public Schools received an invitation from the Massachusetts School Building Authority to participate in a process to determine if the City was eligible for state assistance to renovate or replace the Clark Avenue School.
This process anticipates the formation of a School Building Committee. The role of the School Building Committee depends on local customs and charter authority. In Chelsea, a School Building Committee is advisory in nature and is established by the City Manager.
In August 2012, then-City Manager Jay Ash appointed the following individuals to this Committee.
