School committee adopts redistricting ‘Scenario 8,’ moves portions of downtown to Fales Elementary
Summary
After months of analysis and public feedback, the Westborough School Committee voted 5–0 to adopt redistricting Scenario 8, a plan the district says will raise Fales Elementary’s utilization to about 83% while easing capacity pressures at Hastings and Armstrong.
The Westborough School Committee voted unanimously to adopt redistricting Scenario 8 after a presentation by consultant Nick Deltono and a period of committee discussion.
Consultant Nick Deltono told the committee that Scenario 8 best balanced school utilization and demographic equity, saying it "optimized Fales utilization at 83" and that the proposal avoided increased bus-route costs previously expected. Committee members who had previously been undecided said updated bus-timing and housing-timeline information informed their votes.
