FROM THE NEWSROOM: Woodstock Academy and its Board of Trustees are focusing on building and maintaining relationships with their neighbors this year, and thats why the Academy will begin hosting forums to discuss and address any issues, questions or concerns, according to a news release. “We hope to host bi-annual meetings with our neighbors moving forward as a way to come together and discuss issues and build partnerships with our community,” explained Headmaster Chris Sandford. “An open line of communication and strong relationships are key components and commitments of the Board of Trustees’ strategic plan.” On Tuesday, September 16th, Woodstock Academy’s Buildings and Grounds Committee held the first meeting to discuss the public address (P.A.) system. The committee collected feedback on the use of the P.A. system at the turf field at the Bentley Athletic Complex. In response to concerns raised by neighbors, Woodstock Academy hired a new sound technician, removed the P.A. old system, and built a limiter to the sound system to help control noise. “We are hopeful that these changes have led to a significant, noticeable change for our neighbors,” stated Robert Blackmer, Chairman of the Woodstock Academy Buildings and Grounds Committee. “We feel that these changes, and a few more, will continue to demonstrate that we take our neighbors’ concerns seriously and are willing to work with them for the betterment of the Historic District.” For more information about the meeting, the new public address system, or the Academy’s recent land acquisition please contact the Headmaster’s office at (860) 963-6592 or email [email protected].
