Demolition debris at the site of the original Dr. Albert B. Consentino School on Washington Street is expected be cleared over the next six weeks.
Haverhill school’s Chief Financial Officer Clancy D. Main told School Committee members last Thursday the old Consentino School was reduced to rubble and, once cleared, construction will begin on an upgraded driveway, parking area and playing fields.
In other business, Vice Chair Thomas W. Grannemann said the district received a formal Level 3 grievance from the Haverhill Education Association over allowable courses which meet district continuing education requisites. That required the School Committee to appoint a subcommittee to review it. Appointed to serve were Grannemann, at-large member Penelope Guerrero and Ward 5 member Jill Story.
Michelle Braga, grievance chair for the teachers’ union, told WHAV following the meeting the district is attempting to ban teachers from using Albion Center classes to meet continuing education requirements to improve their salaries and the union considered this a change in working conditions. The Albion Center for Professional Development is located at Idaho State University.
