Dear Editor: In 1995 our house cost $148,500; now it’s worth $750,000. A great thing if we plan to sell it for retirement income or you’re the kids that stand to inherit. Extra equity doesn’t help people who want to stay in their homes and in this community. Many situations are similar. A significant increase […]
Dear Community Members: I am urging you to vote ‘Yes’ in support of a new Galvin Middle School. It is our only opportunity to build a facility with MSBA funding that is worthy of the academic, artistic and athletic talents of our young people. I am a Canton resident and a teacher at the Galvin […]
Dear Editor: As a former student of the Galvin Middle School and current sophomore at Canton High School, I believe that Canton is in need of a new middle school. I want to take this opportunity to share my own experiences that led me to feel this way. I was confronted by examples of the […]

Dear Editor: The voters of our town will soon be asked to authorize the building of a new Galvin Middle School with a total cost, hopefully, of $241 million. Of that total, the state has pledged to reimburse us $72 million, leaving the taxpayers of Canton to come up with $169 million. This is no […]
Dear Editor: I am writing in support of the Galvin Middle School project. Fiscal responsibility is a key driver of why this project needs to move forward now. Every year the Massachusetts School Building Association (MSBA) selects districts to be part of a cost reimbursement program. Canton Public Schools applied for this program and was […]
Dear Editor: I am writing to you as a parent, a citizen, and an educator in regard to the upcoming Galvin Middle School project and vote. I would like to highlight the importance of approving this proposal as it is not just wanted, but needed. It is not something that should be done, but has […]
Dear Editor: Unfortunately, retired seniors on fixed incomes and lower-income citizens will carry a heavy burden to pay for the Galvin Middle School given the recent inflation impact over the past two years! The Galvin Middle School is a worthy project to pursue, but extensive add-ons, including an 800-seat auditorium ($15 million), a playground field […]
Dear Editor: I started the Yes for GMS! group to support the new Galvin Middle School proposal because I have seen firsthand the need for a new building, and how many years our community has invested in planning for these two upcoming votes. I also understand that the urgency created by the nature of the […]
