Questioning the location of Framingham's new elementary school | Letter

As usual, the School Committee is befuddling in its planning of new school construction . Why is a replacement of Hemenway being built in Ashland? Isn't that a bit far flung? Wasn't the Wilson School replacement built to accommodate that part of Town with loss of Memorial, etc.? The larger question involves why the School Dept, Council recognize growth at the lower grade level, but not the need for accommodating it at the high school level. Shouldn't the new building be a high school? Maybe the Marian building would be ideal. Sorry to interrupt your reverie.
