to find solutions to the swing space need that will develop next spring at the middle schools in
order that the middle schools project can attain the phasing schedule, contained in the contract.
Eastern started two months later than the schedule contained in the bid documents; therefore
every effort needs to be explored to achieve a result beneficial to the community The problem
still has not been solved. It was thought that space could be found at the high school after the
senior class departs early at the end of the school year
The high school is looking better, now that Peabody has brought a new carpentry outfit on the job
