NORTH EASTHAM – Towns in the Nauset Regional School District will be voting this spring on a proposed new $132 million high school.
Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet and Brewster will not be voting at separate town meetings as is customary. Instead, the regional school committee voted unanimously Thursday night to have all four towns vote on the same day at a special town election. Absentee and mail-in voting will be available.
The date has not been determined.
Town meetings should have decided the project s fate this past spring, but the pandemic caused towns to postpone or strip down their annual town meetings. Committee Chairman Christopher Easley said his board was worried that waiting for town meeting approval this spring could cause the project to miss a critical May 31 deadline set by the Massachusetts School Building Authority to qualify for $36.6 million in state reimbursement money.
