                       "Long Range Master Plan for School Facilities"
 
 The architectual firm of Strekalovsky Hoit Raymond LLC was retained by the Abington School Department in November 2002 to create a master plan study for the Abington Public School System.
 
   Conceptual location of a "NEW" Middle School prepared by the architectual firm of Strekalovsky Hoit Raymond LLC. Presented in a report   "March 3, 2004 Master Plan Update Presentation".
 
Based on a donated (non approved) wetlands delineation plan dated August 21, 2001.

Prompted by the Town of Abington's unwillingness to amend the "Plan Of Record" for the wetlands delineation that was performed in 2005, Federal Regulatory Review is one of a few options available to correct this flawed plan.
 
It is hoped that the Abington Board of Selectmen recognize the errors that have been made and take a "PUBLIC POSITION" and acknowledge that the Town of Abington's  "PLAN OF RECORD" for Bordering Vegetated Wetlands-Griffin's Dairy, dated November 11, 2005, is inaccurate.
 
 
Failure to acknowledge this inacuracy serves as grounds for appeals to the Department of Environmental Protection and/or Superior Land Court when this plan is referenced. This failure would also promote wasted taxes on planning using an inacurate wetlands line.

 Is Griffin's Dairy the "BEST" location to build a "NEW" middle school?
 
 Do our Town Officials THINK they have an accurate environmental assessment of Griffin's Dairy to design by?
 
 Will the presence of a high water table present problems such as MOLD and MILDEW for a school built on this land?
 
 Does making a "CENTRALIZED" school district make sound sense?
 
 Do our officials really think we can't read a map to figure out that Griffin's Dairy is NOT centrally located in the Town of Abington?
 
 Do these same officials think that Plymouth Street (Rt 58) is adequate to handle the traffic required for a school?
 
 Do these officials think having all those children that must walk to school crossing the MBTA RR tracks is safe for ALL of them?
 
 Will building a school disrupt a way of life for the entire area  around Griffin's Dairy?
 
 Will YOU vote to build a "NEW" school on a wet meadow?
 
 
                     
 SPEAK OUT and tell Abington School Superintendent Peter Schafer  
"NO" to building a "NEW" middle school on the land known as Griffin's Dairy.
