Summary
Nashoba Regional School leaders presented a revised 2026‑27 Program of Studies that adds Middlesex Community College dual‑enrollment courses, restructures level designations to a 'core academics' model with honors/AP/dual‑enrollment options, and phases in a UMass‑aligned GPA scale for incoming freshmen.
