Council increased the Horace Mann school feasibility and design appropriation from $250,000 to $500,000, described as a conservative estimate with other grants covering costs beyond state school-building funding. It also authorized accepting and spending $5,000,000 from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center's Green School Works grant for roof, HVAC, ground-source and solar work. Both orders carried without a roll call.
