District overview

Assabet Valley Regional Vocational Technical

Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.

What is the district working through?

FY27 budget adopted while technical programs expand

A seven-member regional School Committee governs Assabet Valley. The Committee accepted a $33.26 million FY27 budget, approved a 10-year off-campus CTE-space lease, and authorized major roof masonry work while the adult practical-nursing program works to move from state 'Approved with Warning' status to full approval.

Seven member communities have committee representation

Members represent Berlin, Hudson, Marlborough, Maynard, Northborough, Southborough, and Westborough.

FY27 spending rises by $2.65 million

The February budget presentation set the total at $33,261,975, and the Committee later unanimously accepted the proposal and member-community assessments.

Technical-program capacity is expanding

The Committee entered a 10-year lease for CTE space at 100 Crowley Drive and reported a separate $400,000 Workforce Skills Capital Grant for Metal Fabrication and Plumbing.

The adult LPN program has a documented regulatory warning

February minutes say the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing placed the program on Approved with Warning status and staff were working toward full approval.

The nursing warning applies to Assabet's adult LPN program, not the grade 9-12 high school as a whole. Several supporting presentations and reports were linked in the committee's Diligent library but were not exposed in the public recursive archive, so this page does not infer their missing details.
