IV. MSBA Communications Update
Mike Shepard gave a report on the meeting that took place March 3, 2015 with the MSBA to
discuss enrollment. Hopkinton representatives at the meeting were Dr. Cathy MacLeod, Jon
Graziano, Mike Shepard, Tim Bonfatti and James Barrett.
The original enrollment certification number of 355 was the agenda and it was noted that the MSBA
seldom revisits enrollment discussions after the approved certification. The Hopkinton school
department provided revised information regarding to enrollment. The MSBA reviewed all
information submitted and was willing to readjust the enrollment number. The Hopkinton and MSBA
representatives agreed to revise the enrollment to 395 students. The MSBA Board will need to
approve this revision and allow the Town of Hopkinton to continue with the feasibility process,
rather than going back to the project invitation phase. The MSBA asked for assurance that the
Town of Hopkinton will accept this new number. The MSBA Board is scheduled to meet on 3/25/15.
MOTION: Ms. Pam Waxlax moved to approve the revised enrollment number of 395 as well as
to authorize the necessary parties to sign the Certification, seconded by Mr. Rob Nickerson.
