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 and Mont Vernon.  The committee is broken into district specific Building & Grounds subcommittees who focus on their district and bring their work back to the larger group. JFAC works to provide recommendations to the governing bodies (Amherst School Board, Mont Vernon School Board, and Souhegan Cooperative School Board) regarding the interim and long-term facilities needs of the public-school facilities in Amherst and Mont Vernon, taking into account educational outcomes and how to best level the cost impact to residents.

The Committee is working with the SAU, School Boards, the Architectural Firm of Banwell Architects https://www.banwellarchitects.com/ , the Construction Management firm of DEW Construction https://dewconstruction.com/ , and the the Civil Engineering firm of Tighe & Bond Civil/Site Planning & Design – Tighe & Bond (tighebond.com).  All firms have extensive experience in public school design, site planning, and construction.
