At last week’s board meeting, the school naming subcommittee revealed a list of five names — Candlewood Elementary, Candlewood Lake Elementary, Lakeside Elementary, Newbury Elementary and West Brook Elementary — for the board to consider. The committee compiled the list based on suggestions from students and the Municipal Building Committee. The Municipal Building Committee is soliciting bid proposals for the project from contractors that are due on Jan. 7 — if an extension is not given, according to committee Chairman, Paul Cecco. The town will not know the actual cost of the project until after bids are reviewed, although the construction budget is set at just over $66.6 million, Cecco said. The project’s timeline is tight and the town has a small window to get the building up. Cecco aims to break ground in March for the school to be open and occupied by the fall of 2022.
