Eligibility Period

In December of 2019, Nashoba Regional High School was invited to enter the Eligibility Period.  We were one of ten across the Commonwealth to be invited based upon need.  Once the MSBA Board of Directors votes to invite a District into the Eligibility Period, a 270-day period is initiated for the District to complete certain preliminary requirements that include: 1) a certification of the District’s understanding of the grant program rules by executing an Initial Compliance Certification; 2) forming a School Building Committee and submitting the membership to the MSBA for acceptance; 3) a summary of the District’s existing maintenance practices; 4) certification of a design enrollment for the proposed project agreed upon with the MSBA (may not be applicable for Repair Assessments depending on the proposed scope of work); 5) confirmation of community authorization and funding to proceed (see MSBA Vote Requirements); and, 6) execution of the MSBA’s standard Feasibility Study Agreement, which establishes a process for the District to be reimbursed for eligible expenses. 

In the Summer of 2020, Bolton, Lancaster and Stow all voted overwhelmingly in favor of funding the Feasibility Study for our high school at Town Meeting.
