Boston Public Schools (BPS) Interim Superintendent Laura Perille announced the beginning of a community planning and engagement process around significant updates to BuildBPS, the district’s 10-year education and facilities master plan, which calls for additional school grade reconfigurations and expansions, and construction of new school buildings.
In East Boston, Perille announced that BPS will reconfigure six Eastie schools, the Adams, Bradley, Guild, Otis, P.J. Kennedy, and O’Donnell from the K-5 model to a K-6 model by September 2021.
The plan also includes expanding middle-grade seat capacity in Eastie by exploring expansions of middle-grade seats at East Boston High School that may turn to a 7-12 model like Boston Latin and Boston Latin Academy. BPS will maintain middle school options at the Umana and McKay K-8 schools.
