The towns of Brewster, Orleans, and Eastham have received a grant of 150-thousand-dollars to explore opportunities to increase efficiency and sustainability in the Nauset region's elementary and middle schools.
The funding for the study through the Massachusetts Community Compact Cabinet's Efficiency and Regionalization program aims to find data to reduce operational costs in the future while maintaining high educational standards as schools report declining enrollment and rising costs.
The study will begin early next year.
