The Andover High School building committee voted Monday to withdraw a warrant article for May's annual Town Meeting that would have allocated $1.3 million to design a new school.


The town is nearing its state-mandated debt limit as the building committee continues its push to build or renovate AHS without assistance from the Massachusetts School Building Authority. The building committee discussed the possibility of calling a special town meeting late this summer or early this fall to fund the schematic design. Under the committee's original timeline, the schematic design would have been approved in May and a special town meeting and election would have been held early next year for final approval of the project.


"If we're asking taxpayers for funds, we need to make sure we have the legal authority to proceed with the project," Town Manager Andrew Flanagan, who also sits on the building committee, said.
