TELL US: Should The McCarthy School Get Synthethic Fields?

Last month, the Chelmsford School District decided to establish a committee to produce a cost estimate and master plan for two new synthethic fields at McCarthy Middle School.

Things are still in the preliminary stages,with an estimate of approximately $3.2 million for both fields and $600,000 in capital funds from the town and school district along with $500,000 from private donors already allocated so far to the project.

Today, we want to ask you: do you think McCarthy Middle School needs new fields? If so, how much should they cost? If not, why not and do you have an alternative or is one needed?

Also, will the decision earlier this year on stopping billboards near the Chelmsford High football field have any impact on advertisers and alternative revenue sources for the project?

More information is available on the Chelmsford Public Schools website.
