East Bridgewater Public Schools is set to make significant strides in its school building project as the School Committee prepares to vote on potential locations for a new facility. During the recent meeting held on March 18, 2025, committee members discussed the elimination of the Leland Farms site due to concerns over risks and wastewater management. The committee will make a definitive decision on this location at their next meeting, scheduled for March 25.

In addition to the location discussions, the committee is planning a public forum for community engagement, tentatively set for April 8. This forum aims to keep residents informed and involved as the project progresses. The committee anticipates holding weekly meetings in April to ensure timely communication and collaboration as they approach the critical phases of space summary and schematic design.

The meeting also highlighted changes in committee membership, with Dave Walsh stepping in as the new finance committee representative following Karen Harrim's departure. This transition reflects the ongoing commitment of the committee to maintain a diverse and effective team as they tackle the complexities of the school building project.

Moreover, the committee reviewed the school calendar for the upcoming year, ensuring alignment with professional development needs and community feedback. Adjustments were made to optimize learning time while accommodating family schedules, particularly around holidays.

As the committee moves forward, they emphasize the importance of community involvement and transparency in the decision-making process. The upcoming weeks will be crucial as they finalize plans and prepare for the next steps in enhancing educational facilities for East Bridgewater students.
