Emily Peters advocates for NMAP phase 3 proposal at school committee meeting

The Woburn School Committee meeting on May 5, 2025, featured significant discussions regarding the proposed NMAP 6 phase 3 plan, which aims to address school mapping and student assignments. Community member Emily Peters expressed her gratitude for the committee's consideration of this proposal, highlighting it as a favorable compromise compared to other options.

Peters voiced her support for scenario 3 of the NMAP, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that the current maps guide future decisions without requiring students to be shuffled back and forth between schools. She also encouraged candidates running for the school committee to attend future meetings, stressing the value of their presence in understanding the committee's work beyond major votes.

The meeting underscored the community's engagement in school planning and the importance of transparency in decision-making processes. As the committee continues to deliberate on the mapping proposals, the involvement of parents and potential committee members remains crucial for fostering a collaborative environment. The discussions reflect a commitment to addressing the needs of Woburn families and ensuring that educational policies are shaped with community input.
