Voters in Somerset will be asked to gather for a Special Town Meeting  next month, and for a Debt Exclusion Ballot question in September, as the local share for a new middle school will likely need more dollars in order for the building to be finished later in the decade. 

Somerset K-through-8 School Committee member Victor Machado told Somerset Slelectmen Wednesday NIght that bids in another Massachusetts community similar in size to Somerset were coming in at numbers that were not expected, and that it was likely that the MSBA would not move off their agreed to number for financing from the Commonwealth.
