It’s been a busy spring for superintendent Dr. Matthew D’Andrea, who has been stumping at town meetings from Edgartown to Aquinnah seeking support for two major capital projects.

Sam Hart of Aquinnah has been named Islands director for the Trustees of Reservations, the land conservancy announced in a press release this week. An Island native, Mr. Hart will leave his post as executive director of ACE MV.

Aquinnah became the fifth and final town to approve the use of surplus funds for design work on the high school athletic fields overhaul.

In a busy meeting Monday, Edgartown selectmen approved a rate increase for the Chappy Ferry, signed off on two aquaculture permits and conditionally approved the installation of one upright piano downtown.

Aquinnah voters gather tonight for a single-article special town meeting to add their voice to the long-debated multi-million-dollar overhaul of the regional high school athletic fields. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the old town hall. A quorum of 35 voters is needed.
