In the name of the Commonwealth, you are hereby directed to notify and warn the inhabitants of Leverett, qualified to vote in Town affairs, to meet in the Elementary School auditorium, on Tuesday the 22nd of March, 2011, at 7:00 in the evening (7:00 p.m.), then and there to act on the following article, namely:

Article One:  To see if the Town will vote to appropriate, borrow or transfer from available funds, a sum of money to be expended under the direction of the Selectboard for the repair and/or replacement of the roof and windows in the 1950 and 1956 portions of the Leverett Elementary School located at 85 Montague Road; the proposed repair project would materially extend the useful life of the school and preserve an asset that otherwise is capable of supporting the required educational program, and for which the Town may be eligible for a school construction grant for the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”).  The MSBA’s grant program is capable of supporting the discretionary program based on need, as determined by the MSBA, and any project costs the Town incurs in excess of any grant approved by and received from the MSBA shall be the sole responsibility of the Town.  Any grant that the Town of Leverett may receive from the MSBA for the project shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 51.42 percent (%) of eligible, approved project costs, as determined by the MSBA, or (2) the total maximum grant amount determined by the MSBA, or take any action relative thereto.

And you are hereby directed to serve this Warrant by posting up attested copies thereof on the Post Office, in the Town Hall and Congregational Church at Leverett, the Baptist Church at North Leverett and the Village Co-op at Moores Corner, fourteen days at least before the day of said meeting.
