Per the Community Preservation Committee’s recommendation on March 4, 2015, I respectfully request that your Honorable Board appropriate $45,373 for Groundwork Somerville to rehabilitate and improve eight schoolyard garden classrooms at Arthur D. Healey School, Benjamin G. Brown School, Dr. Albert F. Argenziano School, East Somerville Community School, John F. Kennedy Elementary School, Next Wave and Full Circle Alternative Schools, West Somerville Neighborhood School, and Winter Hill Community Innovation School. The appropriation will be allocated to the Open Space/Recreation CPA category and funded from the CPA Open Space/Recreation Reserve.
As a condition to the recommended appropriation, the Committee requested that Groundwork Somerville submit a report that breaks down project expenditures by school.
