QUESTION: When Should School Be Made Up?

We lost school days last week to the power outage - when should it be made up?

Welcome to Question of the Week, a feature on Patch where we ask you a question about anything at all. Question: With so many school days to be made up - when should the make-up days be held? Should they be added on to the end of the school year as normal, or should days from February or April vacations be taken away? What do you think?

Really the students only lost 3 days as Nov. 1, was a Professional Day off for the students and should be counted on the calendar. There is 6 snow days built in to the calendar year so right now we would get out on June 20 if there is NO more snow days. Hopefully we will have a milder winter than last and we will get out sometime close to the 20th.   more ›

Question of the Week: Oak Hill

What should be done with the land, if anything?

Welcome to Question of the Week, a column which asks you, Patch readers, a question about anything at all. Please answer the question in the comments. As always, first and last names are required on Patch and only comments with first and last names in the user name will be allowed. Town Meeting Reps on Oct. 17 will decide whether to turn over the 66-acre parcel known as Oak Hill and designate it as conservation land. Reps will also be asked if the town should pay for a study of the land, which could determine its use for open recreation or even affordable housing. What do you think? Do you support turning the land over to the Conservation Comission, or do you support the study? Why or why not?

Designate it as Conservation Land and leave it be. Do not create another headache for the town and the open stewards to maintain. If you want to build somewhere, wait for the DPW land on Richardson Road. That land can be a mix use piece of property, you can have recreational fields and FAMILY housing.   more ›

Question of the Week: Rail Trail Parking

What do you think about Westford residents using Chelmsford parking at the rail trail?

Welcome to Question of the Week, a new feature on Patch that asks you a question. We'll compile your answers into a post on Tuesday. Please remember to comment using both first and last names in your user name, otherwise comments will be removed. Question: This week Westford Patch wrote about neighbors voicing concerns about parking on the Rail Trail. We want to know what you think: Should Westford residents be able to use Chelmsford parking lots for the rail trail? What do you think should be done to solve the problem? Should Chelmsford residents have special parking stickers for the Rail Trail lots? Tell us in the comments.

The bike path and all parking should be open to all. I have used the Minuteman bike path and the Nashua River bike path in the past and I was never banned from parking.   more ›
