FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE CITY OF NORTH ADAMS SEEKS FEEDBACK FOR UPCOMING SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT
The City of North Adams has been engaged in a feasibility study for a new or renovated elementary school with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) since 2022. As a result of this work so far, MSBA has given the city permission to consider two different options for pursuing either a renovated or new elementary school on the west side of the city.
With change coming, the NAPS School Building Committee is seeking community feedback about the options being considered and strongly encourages all community members to participate in a survey so their input can be included. The survey can be found at www.napsk12.org. The survey can also be accessed via SurveyMonkey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2QCR97J.
Regardless of the option selected, this decision will, through redistricting, impact all elementary school students in our community by changing where students attend school in grades PreK-6 throughout North Adams. This project will not affect the grades currently taught at Drury High School.
Community forums on this topic will take place on Aug. 8 and Aug. 22 at a time and place to be announced. More information about the forums will be available on the district website and through North Adams Public Schools social media. The School Building Committee meetings are open to the public and the next scheduled meeting will be on August 15th at 4:30 pm via zoom. Additional information can be found at www.napsk12.org.
