Why the BET Race is so Important

The BET is considered the most powerful branch of Town government, with near total control of the Town’s budget. Its decisions will impact the scope and timing of the Riverside School renovation project.

 

Voters choose who controls the BET. Though the board is usually split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, the party with more total votes in the BET election earns the (powerful) extra tie-breaking vote—and with it, control of the Town’s finances. Thus, it’s important to vote for ALL candidates from the party you choose to support.

Riverside School is slated for a major building renovation project. Design work is imminent, with construction anticipated to begin during the 2027-28 school year.

 

The scope of the project includes:

- Critical accessibility, safety & security upgrades

- A comprehensive renovation that brings the building into the 21st century

- A 12,000 sq ft two-story addition at the rear of the building

 

The estimated $40+ million of work on the building cannot happen until it gets funded by the Town—a decision that is expected to be made by the individuals elected this November.

 

Support from local elected officials will be critical to getting this once-in-a-generation project funded.
