Summary
The committee voted to refrain from participating in the Massachusetts School Choice program for the 2025–26 school year, citing stable enrollment and class‑size concerns.
The Duxbury School Committee voted on March 7 to refrain from entering the Massachusetts School Choice program for the 2025–26 school year.
Superintendent Dr. Klingemann explained that school choice permits districts to accept students from other communities, with tuition paid by the sending district at a per‑pupil rate. She said districts sometimes adopt choice when enrollment declines and they need to fill seats. After discussing current enrollment levels — roughly 200 students per grade — the superintendent recommended the district not open to school choice for FY26.
A committee motion to “refrain from entering school choice for the 2025–26 school year” carried by voice vote.
