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)
“No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A committee is an animal with four back legs.”
—John le Carré (b. 1931)
