On Wednesday West Tisbury selectmen learned that they would have representation during the $1 million-plus project to repair the West Tisbury School in the coming years, but it wasn’t enough for some.

In a letter to the selectmen Vineyard schools superintendent Dr. James H. Weiss asked the selectmen to appoint a town representative to work with the up-Island regional school district committee during the rebuilding project.

“I’m not happy with how the school committee is proceeding,” said selectman Jeffrey (Skipper) Manter. “I think we need to have them back in here. It’s our building, we’re going to be paying 80 per cent of the bill . . . Just asking for one representative I don’t think is fair,” he added.

“There’s probably a compromise here,” said selectman Cynthia Mitchell. “I agree that one member from the town is not enough.” Instead Ms. Mitchell proposed adding two or three representatives to the school committee. Mr. Manter insisted that one of them be a “hammer and nails” person to oversee a project where craftsmanship has been historically shoddy.

On March 14 at 5 p.m. at the West Tisbury School selectmen will meet with the school committee to discuss their representation.

Also on Wednesday, in the wake of the revelation that the town does not own the Mill Pond dam (it belongs to the Martha’s Vineyard Garden Club), on the advice of the town insurance agent selectmen moved to list the garden club as additionally insured. The town has improperly insured the dam for years, and the move clarifies the situation.

“It’s the easiest way to correct it and it won’t cost anyone anymore money,” said town administrator Jennifer Rand.
