The SAU 39 Joint Facilities Advisory Committee was appointed and tasked by the SAU 39 school board with conducting an analysis of the state of public education facilities in Amherst. The committee worked to provide recommendations to the governing bodies (SCSB, ASB) regarding the interim and long-term facilities needs of the public-school facilities in Amherst, taking into account educational outcomes and how to best level the cost impact to residents in an efficient manner.
The Committee engaged with the architectural firm of Lavallee Brensinger to conduct an architecural and engineering analysis of the buildings in the Amherst School District. The findings and recommendations of the committee are found on this website.
