Medfield Day:  A BIG THANK YOU to all the community members who braved the inclement weather, attended Medfield Day, and visited the SBC booth.  Your thoughtful questions and comments are greatly appreciated. The SBC plans to hold listening sessions, information sessions, and be at other community events as we move forward in the process of replacing or renovating the Dale Street School. 

In case you didn’t get a chance to stop at our booth, below are the two handouts we distributed.

• MSBA Info Sheet
• MSBC Info Sheet
  

Survey Results: The SBC thanks everyone who participated in our first survey. We had 1112 respondents! This was an important first step for the SBC as we engage the Medfield community in our task of creating a new proposal for the Dale Street School (replacement/renovation yet to be determined). 

The following links will take you to the results: 

• A summary of the data

• The comments from the question: What other factors should SBC consider?

• The comments from the question: What other topics do respondents care about?

• The comments from the question: What other means can the SBC use to increase information/participation?

The SBC wants everyone to know that we are sincerely committed to an open, inclusive process as we move forward.  THANK YOU!

The School Building Committee is seeking your feedback!  

The School Building Committee (SBC) has been formalized to study and advise the town regarding a new/renovated elementary school building.  Your input is vital to this process!  The SBC will seek your feedback in short surveys, conversations, meetings, etc. as we embark on this journey.

The first survey will inform the SBC of your perspective on the prior proposal and what is currently important to you as the new process begins.

The survey is anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself in the open comment questions. Survey results will be publicly shared.
