WESTFIELD — One week after the new Westfield River Elementary School opened to students, a straw poll taken by the School Committee after a lengthy discussion revealed that members unanimously support moving forward on a plan to build a comprehensive high school on the site of Westfield High School on Montgomery Street. The straw poll was an unofficial vote to gauge the opinion of committee members.
Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski raised the issue by informing the committee that the deadline to submit an application to the Massachusetts School Building Authority is April 11, and that he had received the application earlier the day of Jan. 13.
