You may have heard about the challenges of recent years and the tough choices we’ve had to make to balance the budget. The funding we receive from our towns and the state is no longer keeping up with the external factors driving up costs in our current system. The reality is, the way we’ve structured and funded education over the past 50 years is no longer enough to meet the fast-changing needs of today.
We’re taking this on because we believe in our students and our community. Our goal is to build something sustainable that will endure for decades—not just patchwork solutions for another budget cycle. Our ever-changing world demands more from both our educators and our graduates. We are committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential and that our educators have the resources they need to support that goal. At the same time, we also recognize that our community must be able to afford our schools. This isn’t just about saving money; it’s about being smart with the resources we have. Acton-Boxborough has evolved, and our students need new skills that our current system isn’t equipped to provide.
We encourage all members of our community to follow the process and get engaged through our
Strategic Planning & Reorganization Webpage. We will keep this site updated regularly.
