The community filled the Robb Center on Thursday, November 14, 2024 to learn more and share their thoughts about the redistricting process with the district’s consultant, DillingerRAD. If you weren’t able to attend or just want to review the information- Dillinger’s presentation is posted and AndoverTV has provided a recording of the forum below.

We want to hear your thoughts! This link or the QR code below will open a brief survey for all in the Andover community to take part. The survey will close on Friday, November 22, 2024. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspectives. 

DillingerRAD will share updates with the School Committee during a workshop scheduled for Thursday, November 21st at 5 p.m. in the School Committee room at 30 Whittier Court.

When Andover Public Schools submitted its application to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) for funding support in 2018, the district saw the West Elementary School building project as an opportunity to approach the project for the benefit of Andover’s entire elementary program. In this application, APS noted that if a new West Elementary School was built, the district would redistrict the other four elementary schools in such a way that each school’s enrollment is most effectively aligned with its capacity.

The redistricting process is a work in progress to develop a long-term plan for the future. The plan is intended to help address anticipated growth in Andover that could impact our students’ educational environment for years to come.

The entire community of Andover needs to be involved in developing the plan to make this project a success.
