The Woburn School Committee meeting on May 5, 2025, highlighted significant community engagement and support for a proposed school district map adjustment. Parents and community members expressed their gratitude for the committee's efforts in addressing the needs of students and families during a challenging transition period.

Alex Tisdale, a parent representative from Malcolm White, emphasized the collaborative nature of the process, thanking committee members for their dedication and hard work. He voiced strong support for "phase map 3 to end map 6," which he believes offers flexibility for future changes while prioritizing the current needs of students. Tisdale urged the committee to avoid adopting phase map 6, which would increase student numbers at Malcolm White, potentially straining resources.

Sarah Bergen McCool echoed Tisdale's sentiments, commending the committee for incorporating community feedback and new data into their decision-making process. She appreciated the recent public forums that allowed for open dialogue and the opportunity to address concerns. McCool also supported the proposal from the advisory committee, which aligns with Tisdale's views on maintaining neighborhood components in the district's planning.

The discussions at the meeting reflect a strong commitment from both the school committee and the community to ensure that decisions made today will benefit students in the long term. As the committee moves forward, the focus will remain on balancing current needs with future growth, ensuring that all voices are heard in the process.
