 FYI - Templeton recreation has 10 thousand dollars available to them, by way of town meeting vote, to improve Gilman Waite field. Just in case they were interested in improving say the tennis court (s).

Deed to said field states donated to town and Templeton no longer has a high school, as the town belongs to a regional school district, which is a legally separate entity from the town.
There is also 15 thousand dollars available, by way of town meeting vote to improve building at Gilman Waite field. The town is appropriating money, by way of town meeting vote, to take care of a town owned recreation / sports complex, so it follows, recreation events sponsored or put on by the Town of Templeton recreation committee have priority over other sport events held or planned by say, NRSD. Just as the Town has to ask the school district if the auditorium is available for a town meeting, the school district must ask the town if the fields at GW are open for any event, they wish to use GW for. That is a policy document adopted by the Templeton board of selectmen (select board). This would be called coordination, planning, FOLLOWING POLICY!

  1. This brings up so many interesting poiints.

    The Town of Templeton funding the build out, upkeep of Gilman Truly seems to be another instance that Templeton is covering more than its fair share.

    NRSD has been allowed to assert privilege when scheduling events on Templetons Property. Nrsd is a District School. The District is Templeton/Phillipston. Why has Templeton been the sole supporter of the field?
