School Committee to Host Community Forum on Middle School Placements

The School Committee will host a community discussion on middle school placements on Monday, January 12, at 6:30 p.m. in the Revere High School Learning Commons.

The discussion comes as the committee considers moving away from the current lottery-based system for middle school assignments and transitioning to a neighborhood middle school model. Committee members are seeking input from parents and caregivers as part of their decision-making process.

Families with children who will be entering middle school in the near or distant future are encouraged to attend, as are parents of current middle school students who wish to share their perspectives.

Translators will be available at the meeting to support families who need language assistance.

Parents and caregivers who are unable to attend will have the opportunity to provide feedback through a survey that will be distributed to all families following the meeting.
