Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Residents of Hanover have spoken loudly and clearly. On Monday, by a
unanimous vote, 716 voters at the Special Town Meeting more than exceeded
the 2/3 majority needed to approve the Center School addition and move it
along to a ballot vote.

And then today, Saturday, by an unofficial tally of 1692 in favor and 358
opposed, residents of Hanover voted to approve the addition, when only a
majority was necessary.

Regardless of your view on this issue, and at the risk of skipping dozens
of people, please join me in thanking Libby Corbo, Kim Mills-Booker, Rachel
Hughes, Julia Traggorth, Jocelyn Keegan, and countless others for
volunteering their time and energy to bring this question to the people.
Residents like you make our town the awesome community it is.

The people have spoken. Our schools and our children matter. Hanover
rocks.

For “Around Town on the Web”,
Cathy H-B

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

In all of my 25 years in Hanover, I have never seen approximately (stay
tuned for the official count) 716 people vote unanimously for a debt
exclusion override vote…until Monday night. Even the high school vote in
2008 – with over 1100 voters – had two or three public naysayers at the
meeting.

This evening the Town of Hanover took the first step toward an addition to
the Center School – a more than two-thirds vote at the Special Town Meeting
held Monday, September 26th. And yes, in fact, it was unanimous.

The vote and the project are only halfway there, though. Next on the
docket – a vote at the polls on Saturday, October 1st, 2016. That’s this
Saturday. A majority of the town will decide one way or the other to
either build the addition, or not.

The polls are open from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. at Hanover High School,
located at 287 Cedar Street. See you there.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Some of you reading this e-mail have been waiting for this question to be
put back on a warrant for 14 years. Others of you are reading about this
project for the first time. Regardless of your perspective, this Monday’s
Special Town Meeting is an important milestone in our town’s legislative
history that deserves your attention today.

Most importantly, the Special Town Meeting will be held at Hanover High
School on Monday, September 26th beginning at 7:00 p.m. You are encouraged
to get there 15-30 minutes early so that parking will be easy and check-in
lines will move smoothly. Further, members of the HHS National Honor
Society and the HHS Student Council will be providing free childcare
beginning at 6:30 p.m. and lasting until the meeting is over for those who
need it. Meet them in the Media Center on the first floor of the high
school. Everyone – please get there in plenty of time and help us to avoid
check-in lines at 6:55 p.m.!

On the warrant is a brief “prior year bills” question, followed by the
long-awaited override question for the Center School addition project.
Here is the link to the warrant:
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/sites/hanoverma/files/file/file/2016_-_special_town_meeting_warrant_-_9-6-16_-_signed.pdf
. The Advisory Committee met Thursday night and their affirmative
recommendation on Article Two and related commentary is attached to this
e-mail.

Become an informed voter! There is quite a bit of information out there
that you can read or watch in order to become informed about the project.
Go to this section of the Hanover School’s website for more detailed
information: http://www.hanoverschools.org/future/ .

Additionally, there is a Municipal Ballot Question Committee that has been
formed recently and that is actively supporting the project. Their website
may be found here: http://www.yestohanoverschool.com/ . I am not
currently aware of an organized group advocating against the project, but
there has been some confusion regarding the “No on 2” Charter School signs
that are already up in anticipation of the November ballot question.

Remember that this is a two-part vote – first on Monday, September 26th,
followed by a vote at the polls on Saturday, October 1st. More details
about Saturday October 1st will follow in this space after Monday September
26th’s Special Town Meeting. See you there!
