Expedited Process Improves Learning Environments for Children in Haverhill
BOSTON – State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg, Chair of the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”), and MSBA Executive Director/Deputy CEO Mary L. Pichetti, announced today that the MSBA Board of Directors has approved up to $1,211,580 for an Accelerated Repair Program project in Haverhill.
“The Accelerated Repair Program allows us to make critical repairs to more schools in less time,” said Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg. “By improving the learning environment for our children, the program also makes schools more energy efficient and generates significant cost savings.”
The main goals of the Accelerated Repair Program are to improve learning environments for children and teachers, reduce energy use, and generate cost savings for districts.
“The MSBA continues to partner with Massachusetts communities in the ongoing work of upgrading their public schools,” Executive Director/Deputy CEO Mary Pichetti said. “These improvements to school facilities can only enhance students’ ability to excel in the classroom.”
