Attention then shifted to the upcoming Shakelain school project, which is contingent upon a two-thirds majority vote at the special town meeting on October 28th. Following this, a ballot vote is required for a proposition 2.5 override necessary to fund the project. The town clerk’s office announced that early voting ballots would be mailed to those who requested mail-in ballots earlier in the year, reminding voters of their options to participate.

The meeting also detailed logistical arrangements for the special town meeting, including the use of a new confidential clicker voting system, transportation services for attendees, and designated parking for seniors. Child-friendly accommodations were also discussed, with babysitting services offered during the meeting to encourage broader community participation.
