School committee adopts neighborhood middle‑school Model 1; staff to notify families
Summary
After review of enrollment and equity impacts, the Revere School Committee voted to select Model 1 for middle‑school neighborhood assignments and directed staff to map student assignments and notify families in the coming weeks.
The Revere School Committee voted March 17 to adopt Model 1 for neighborhood middle‑school assignments, a formal selection intended to guide family notifications and student placement for next year.
Committee member (speaker 11) moved to select Model 1 and was seconded; the motion passed on a roll‑call vote. Superintendent Dr. Kelly said the district will spend the next several weeks identifying exactly which neighborhood middle school each rising fifth‑grade student will attend and will send notices to families once assignments are finalized. "With that vote, there's going to be a lot of questions from parents about, what does that mean for my child?" Dr. Kelly said; she asked the administration to begin mapping assignments promptly and to provide clear communications to families.
The committee chair declared the motion passed and members thanked staff who contributed demographic analysis and mapping work. The committee also noted the larger budget context discussed earlier in the meeting, and Dr. Kelly said more specific staffing and budget details will be addressed over the coming 6–8 weeks as state budget decisions and subcommittee work proceed.
Outcome: motion to select Model 1 — passed. Staff will notify families and finalize individual assignments.
