[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any updates on Watkins modernization?  Has the funding been cut?  [/quote]

The modernization is still happening.

New windows will be delivered thus week and installed this summer.  I think other HVAC improvements happen this summer, too.

About $30 million has then been budgeted for the next two years.  Fuller renovation will be made over summers '16 and '17.[/quote]

I didn't see Watkins listed in this "Final Education FY16 Budget Committee Report."  Does that mean anything?  http://www.scribd.com/doc/265431330/Final-Education-FY16-Budget-Committee-Report[/quote]

That report's potentially concerning, but DGS did host a community meeting on May 19th (i.e., Tuesday of this week) at Watkins to discuss the renovation plans.  A bunch of city officials were there, including somebody from the Mayor's office.  The whole discussion was on the basis of the renovation moving forward.

If there have been any changes, Peabody/Watkins parents have not been informed yet.[/quote]
