1. Educational Plan

The MHS Educational Plan was approved by the School Committee on 2/2, pending any non-material refinements needed as the PDP submission is completed.  This sets the stage for what Building Leaders intend to do in the building and how they intend to deliver instruction, which in turn drives space needs.

1. Space Summary Review

The MHS Space Summary, which provides an in-depth look at every space in our current building, along with plans for comparable spaces in a 'new' building.  It also includes articulation of space needs for spaces not currently present in the building but needed to meet the Educational Plan.  The MSBA requires that the space plan meet the needs of the Educational Plan. 

This document will be voted on by the SBC on February 23, 2026.
