With rain settling over the riverbank early today, district leaders are meeting indoors to map out final campus prep before students return later this month.

The Lead

The School Committee and Board of Trustees gather today for a joint session to align district priorities ahead of the upcoming academic year. Bringing together elected school board members and the trustees who manage city educational properties, the meeting focuses on summer facility upgrades, building maintenance, and capital planning across local campuses.

With staff return dates approaching later this month, joint discussions ensure physical infrastructure and administrative budgets stay tightly aligned before students return to classrooms.
