School Expansion Discussed by School Committee

Adopting a full-day kindergarten was discussed by the School Committee along with the required expansion the district would have to undertake, with some committee members suggesting tapping into unused commercial buildings.

With a school district that has been in need of additional room for students, officials said a committment to having a full load of full-day kindergarten classes could require a new school building. "I hope I'm not shocking the community, but you need a school," said Interim Superintendent Dr. Stephen Dlott at Tuesday's School Committee meeting. The need for a new school is nothing unknown to the district, he said, but with his vision for a complete full-day kindergarten the need for a new building becomes even more immediate. The city currently has 13 sections of full-day kindergarten and nine sections of half-day kindergarten. Let Patch save you time.
