BRISTOL – Organizers of a petition drive to force a public vote on the $115 million plan to build two new schools said they’ve already collected more than 500 signatures from residents who want a say on the proposal.
Tom Doyle, one of the organizers of Let Us Vote, said the petition drive has only been underway for a week.
He said the Board of Education "did not listen to the people" in its sole public hearing on the plan to construct two new 900-student schools that would each serve kindergarten to eighth grade.
City councilors referred the petition to the city attorney’s office for review.
