************************************

The future of the Cabot building and Newton's other school facilities will be discussed at a public meeting, sponsored by the School Committee and featuring architects from HMFH, the firm which recently completed an assessment of our schools. ?As you may have read in the Globe this week, the state did not name any Newton schools in their first round of construction funding. ?Come learn about the implications of this news and what Newton's options for renovation and rebuilding are.
