Dear Families:
In the Spotlight
We are enormously grateful for the community’s support of a new Concord Middle School. The vision and possibilities now feel real and will be tangible before we know it. Reaching this point is the result of the dedication of many, many people, including the Concord Middle School Building Committee with the support of the Concord School Committee, Concord Finance Committee, and Concord Select Board, as well as so many citizens who saw the need and remained engaged throughout extraordinary circumstances. Principal Cameron said it best:
The Education Program developed for the new school outlines our hopes for what the new school will offer to future middle school students. We will soon have a revised scope of work, with the tentative completion date still being spring of 2025. Thank you!!
Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Search
Following the recent resignation of Assistant Superintendent Jared Stanton, we are currently searching for the next fiscal and operational leader of the schools to begin on July 1. We appreciate Jared’s work and leadership over the past four years.
