School Building Committee
The School Building Committee of Burgess Elementary School was established to improve Burgess Elementary School because the school has not been rebuilt since 1972. There are two plans for the new Burgess Elementary School. One plan will cost $17.9 million. The other plan will cost at least $40.6 million. The new school is hoping to have:
- New classrooms
- More office space
- Science and computer labs
- Modern classrooms
- Special education rooms
- Sprinklers and new roof repairs
In April 2008, the town will meet to decide whether or not to approve the plan, and, if so, which one.

Famous quotes containing the words school, building and/or committee:
“I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The small creatures chirp thinly through the dust, through the night.
O mother
What shall I cry?
We demand a committee, a representative committee, a committee of investigation
RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
