Resolved: Having convened in open meeting on February 15, 2022, prior to the SOI submission closing date, the School Committee of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in accordance with its charter, by-laws and ordinances, has voted to authorize the Superintendent to submit to the Massachusetts School Building Authority the Statement of Interest Form dated no later than March 25, 2022 for the Amigos School building located at 15 Upton Street which describes and explains the following deficiencies and the priority category for which an application may be submitted to the Massachusetts School Building Authority in the future.

The funds are sought to be used for the replacement of the building's roof. The Upton Street building's roof is more than thirty-nine years old and has had multiple leaks repaired. This project falls under priority category number 5, which is for the replacement, renovation, or modernization of school facility systems such as roofs, windows, boilers, heating and ventilation systems, to increase energy conversation and decrease energy related costs in a school facility.

The Cambridge School Committee here further specifically acknowledges that by submitting this Statement of Interest Form, the Massachusetts School Building Authority in no way guarantees the acceptance or the approval of an application, the awarding of a grant or any other funding commitment from the Massachusetts School Building Authority, or commits the City/School District to filling an application for funding with the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
