On February 25th, the School Committee voted to approve two future elementary redistricting maps to correspond with a building project at either the Hardy or Upham sites. These maps will now be included in the ongoing assessment of both sites by the School Building Committee as it prepares a recommended building project in partnership with the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

The earliest redistricting would occur is in the fall of 2024.
