The city has been invited into a senior study process with MSBA regarding Pittsfield High School.

Why it matters
The projects are needed because the century-old Pittsfield High School building has been described as being in poor physical condition, including concerns regarding air and water quality. The MSBA officials are scheduled to visit the city on September 29 to discuss the statement of interest regarding the high school.
