The Board also unanimously approved amendments to the Veterans Services Advisory Board charge, updating the 2008 document to replace inactive organization references with active Belchertown veteran representatives.
Consultants presented a $22 million schematic design for Tadgell School renovation, down from a prior $26 million estimate, though the Board deferred action pending further discussion of ownership and funding options.
