Woburn School Committee votes not to support school choice for 2026–27
Summary
Following the administration's recommendation, the Woburn School Committee voted to continue the district practice of not supporting school choice for the coming year, citing space and redistricting concerns.
The Woburn School Committee voted May 12 to not support school choice for the coming year after Superintendent Dr. Crowley explained the administration’s recommendation, saying the district "has currently not favored this for years" and pointing to redistricting and space constraints as reasons to maintain that stance.
A committee member moved to follow the administration’s recommendation to not support school choice; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote (ayes). The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the publicly read minutes beyond the voice vote outcome recorded in the meeting transcript.
The decision preserves the district’s existing practice for the next school year; the administration and committee cited building capacity and redistricting concerns as the rationale.
