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:
“A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
