Facilities Update

The Board of Education's current long-term facilities plan is set to expire in 2027. A new 10-year plan for school space is currently being developed. The Board's Facilities Committee met on May 21 and June 3 to review a consultant’s report outlining a number of options to meet future student program and space needs. The committee will reconvene on July 21. The Board expects to review 2-3 options in more detail (including cost estimates, timelines, etc.) in late summer or fall. We will post Board meeting reminders for families. As always, we welcome in-person and written public comments.
