The City Council Finance Committee backed the School Committee's application for state funding to replace the failing building. PEABODY, MA — Citing an accreditation warning for facilities insufficient for learning, and building deficiencies that range from leaky ceilings to inadequate security and unsafe water quality, the Peabody School Committee got City Council approval to once again apply for state funding for a new Peabody Veterans Memorial High School on Thursday night. "I think all of you know the importance of this project and the real hope that we can partner with (Massachusetts School Building Authority) and begin this process," Peabody Mayor Ted Bettencourt to the City Council Finance Subcommittee.
