Voters Approve Security Cameras at Walpole High School; Town Meeting Continued Again

The 2013 Walpole Annual Town Meeting is headed to a third day after Wednesday's session was continued to next Monday.

Walpole Town Clerk Ron Fucile said the meeting is progressing, albeit slowly, and many of the 38 articles have been voted on.

He said the budget was passed at the first meeting on May 6th and Wednesday’s meeting saw the town approve the use of security cameras at Walpole High School despite strong opposition from students and some RTM members.

While needing three days to get through a town meeting is unusual, Fucile said this year they have a lot to go through.

“Usually we can get it done in two, but this has more pieces than most people expected, and those pieces are taking some time to get to the bottom of,” he said. “We’re coming back on Monday to take care of the remainder.”

Fucile said the town will meet Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the high school. Among the articles to be discussed and voted on Wednesday is the medical marijuana issue.
