School committee adopts redistricting Option 3; vote 5–0
Summary
The committee approved the new-school redistricting plan (Option 3) after public meetings and outreach, voting 5–0. Staff noted limited transportation support for some families and plans for targeted communication with affected households.
The Scituate School Committee unanimously approved a new-school redistricting plan (Option 3) during its May 18 meeting, a decision the superintendent said reflected extensive public input and multiple public meetings.
The superintendent recommended Option 3, noting the iterative process and community feedback gathered since December. He told the committee staff had had follow-up conversations with several families affected by the changes and said limited transportation could mean some families choose to remain at their current school in specific cases.
The committee moved and approved the plan by roll-call vote, 5–0. Committee members thanked building leaders and the working group for careful outreach and noted the difficulty of redistricting decisions.
Next steps: staff will notify affected families, finalize transportation and implementation logistics, and continue outreach as students are assigned to the new building.
