The abundance of building problems lingering throughout the Gates Intermediate School found their way before the school committee once again at Monday night’s meeting, Nov. 7.
In response to school committee Chairman Michael Hayes review of the cost and estimated scope of work for the Scituate High auditorium project, Shan Morrissey, a special education teacher at Gates, said she and other teachers were frustrated at the committee’s decision to renovate the auditorium.
