A-B FORWARD SHAPING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER
As we reflect on a successful 2024–25 academic year and look forward to the opportunities of 2025-26, the Acton- Boxborough Regional School District (ABRSD) is deeply engaged in two pivotal initiatives designed to strengthen our schools for years to come. Our commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience for every student remains unwavering, and these efforts, guided by our new “A-B Forward: Shaping our future together” committee, are central to that promise. The first crucial process underway is the development of a comprehensive five-year strategic plan . This plan will serve as our roadmap, articulating a clear vision, mis- sion, and actionable goals for the district’s future. We’ve partnered with the District Management Group (DMGroup) to facilitate this work, ensuring a robust and data- informed approach. A cornerstone of this process is extensive community input. We recently concluded a community survey in June and July 2025, gathering valuable perspectives on our strengths, challenges, and priorities. The insights gleaned from this survey, along with diagnostic findings of educational and operational performance, will be reviewed as we begin to craft the core tenets of our strategic direction. This collaborative effort ensures that the plan truly reflects the values and aspirations of our entire community.
Simultaneously, we are embarking on a critical examination of how best to organize our schools . Several key factors drive this distinct but related process: our ongoing commitment to improving student outcomes across all grade levels, the need to thoughtfully respond to declining enrollment trends, and the imperative to balance the financial con- straints the district faces. The goal is to explore 3–5 actionable options for district reorganization that could guide our opera- tions for the next 5-10 years. This thought- ful consideration of our organizational structure will ensure we are maximizing resources, optimizing learning environ- ments, and maintaining the high quality of education our community expects, even as student demographics shift. Both the strategic planning and reorgani- zation initiatives are deeply intertwined, aiming to create a resilient, adaptable, and forward-thinking school system. We extend our sincere gratitude to all community members who have already participated in this vital work, and we encourage continued engagement as we collectively shape the bright future of the Acton-Boxborough Regional School District.
