Welcome to the Website for the
Merger of North Shore Technical School and Essex Agricultural
School.
This Website is hosted by North Shore Technical School, under the direction of the
Merger Sub
Committee.
The mission of the Merger Sub Committee has been to foster the
merger of the two schools and develop legislation that would
describe the manner in which such a merger will take place.
It has also been the mission of the Sub Committee to
include of the city of Peabody into the North Shore Regional
School District and to look for a means of financing this facility.
The legislation, filed by Senator Fred
Berry of Peabody, is
the result of several years of work by community leaders, the
Massachusetts Department of Education and officials from North Shore Technical School, Essex
Agricultural School and the City of Peabody.
When passed, this legislation will call for the construction of
a new facility on the site which now houses Essex Agricultural
School. This new school will be the first of its kind in the State;
providing students in the North Shore area, a state of the art
facility offering technical and agricultural courses.
Presently, the Temporary Oversight Board is working with the Architectural
firm of Design Partnership of Cambridge to bring the first part of
the project, the Feasibility Study, to completion.
