Arm Yourself With Knowledge Before Election

The annual Town Meeting is a little less than a week away and while the ballots aren't the most controversial Merrimack has seen in recent years, there are still important issues to decide.

Voters are called to James Mastricola Upper Elementary School on Tuesday, April 9, to cast their ballots that include electing new or incumbent town officials and deciding things like the town and school budgets and contracts agreed upon between the town and five of its unions and the school and its teachers union.

Also on the school ballot is a question of whether to spend about $1.5 million to build a new central office for the superintendent's office and the special services department. The project would mean getting the staffs of the green and blue houses adjacent to Merrimack High School, into a single building that would meet their needs for space, privacy and safety.

We've updated our voters guide with all the latest town meeting information we have on Merrimack Patch.
