Demolition inside the Tisbury School has cleared away nearly a century’s worth of accumulated renovations, revealing the original interior of a town landmark built during the depths of the Great Depression.

A symbolic ground-breaking at the Tisbury School Saturday morning marked a new chapter for the town school, which graduated its first class of eighth-graders more than 90 years ago.

Eversource's redeployment of workers to Florida to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian could delay getting high-voltage electrical service installed into Tisbury School's modular classrooms.

Casting paper ballots marked YES or NO, Tisbury voters overwhelmingly approved 373 to 112 nearly $26 million in new funding for the proposed school renovations.

Tisbury voters will weigh in at a special town meeting Tuesday on nearly $26 million in additional borrowing to complete the Tisbury School renovation project.

The Tisbury finance and advisory committee has voted 7-1 to recommend borrowing nearly $26 million in additional funds for the Tisbury school renovation and addition project. Voters will decide whether to approve the borrowing at a Sept. 20 special town meeting.

The future of the Tisbury School reconstruction project rests entirely on the Sept. 20 special town meeting, after the select board on August 24 unanimously rescinded a town election that was tentatively set for Oct. 4.

A two-thirds majority at the special town meeting Sept. 20 is still required to authorize issuing the additional $26 million in bonds.

The embattled Tisbury School renovation and addition project took another step forward this week when work began to gut the school gym.

Whether or not Tisbury voters approve an additional $26 million borrowing request for Tisbury School construction, on top of $55 million already authorized, the building must be vacated later this year once modular classrooms are ready, school committee chair Amy Houghton said.
