AB has announced additional community engagement opportunities in October. See below for details and more information available at Acton-Boxborough Regional School District – AB Forward Strategic Plan 2026-31
We are now entering the phase of the project focused on the possible reorganization of our schools, and we need your input.
- In October, we will launch a district-wide survey and host focus groups and community forums to collect input. Here are some anticipated dates and timelines:
- Community Survey: Launches mid-October. (All community members are encouraged to participate.)
- Community Forums (Open to all members of the public):
Community Forum #1: Tuesday, October 21st, 6:30-8:00 p.m., Acton-Boxborough Regional High School Auditorium
Community Forum #2: Monday, October 27th, 6:30-8:00 p.m., Blanchard Memorial School Gymnasium
Community Forum #3: Thursday, October 30th, 6:30-8:00 p.m., Virtual (registration & link to follow)
- Focus Groups: October 15th-27th. We will conduct over 30 focus groups with a capacity for up to 250 participants across stakeholder groups.
Once the community engagement phase of this work is complete, the information will be used to help the steering committee narrow options to the top 2-3 concepts. These priorities will be submitted to the school committee for final approval.
Disclaimer: The above video was created using Google’s Notebook LM, a generative AI tool. The video provides a high-level overview of the AB Forward reorganization work, but by design, it lacks important details of each of the options for consideration. We encourage you to use the video and slides below in combination with each other to gain a deeper understanding of potential options.
