Mayor Warren: Speed up work on Newton's Cabot School

Mayor Setti Warren told the School Committee and School Department Monday night that the city is ?aggressively pursuing? moving up the feasibility schedule for a building project at the Cabot Elementary School after a group of parents called on city officials reprioritize Cabot in its list of pending building projects.

?We know that Cabot needs work desperately and we know how important it is to children,? Warren said. ?I personally have been in touch with the MSBA. We share your urgency in fixing things at Cabot.?

The city is already working with the Massachusetts School Building Authority on the Angier School building project. City officials have previously said they weren?t sure if the city could be engaged in multiple projects with the MSBA at the same time, but Cabot parent Lisa Adams told the School Committee that she saw a number of school district with concurrent projects on the MSBA?s website.

Cabot parent Amy Fleishman told the School Committee her son was offered an enrichment class for math but turned it down because the class was going to be in a bathroom that was converted into a closet and then converted into a bathroom.

"Please keep the Cabot School a priority," Fleishman.
