Littleton Prepares for Crucial Vote on Shaolane School Project at Special Town Meeting
- Meeting Overview:
The recent Littleton Board of Selectmen meeting focused on the upcoming special town meeting and subsequent election concerning the Shaolane school project. This initiative requires a two-thirds approval at the town meeting, followed by a ballot vote for a Proposition 2½ override to secure funding. The special town meeting is scheduled for October 28th, and early ballots for the election will be mailed out on September 29th.
The meeting emphasized the need for public participation in the special town meeting. Residents must attend in person to have their votes counted, as no remote voting methods will be available. The town will utilize a new clicker system to ensure confidentiality of votes. To facilitate attendance, the town has arranged for free transportation to and from the meeting venue, Littleton Middle School. Special parking accommodations have also been made for seniors and individuals requiring accessible spots.
In another key discussion, Michael Wilson introduced himself as the new director of veteran services in Littleton. Wilson encouraged veterans to reach out for assistance with various services, including healthcare, pensions, and education support.
The meeting also addressed logistical aspects of the special election related to the Shaolane school project. Residents were reminded that mail-in ballots sent earlier in the year apply to all elections, including the upcoming one. Those who prefer to vote in person or choose not to vote by mail are encouraged to do so, with the reminder that every vote is important.
