What is changing at Collegiate Charter School of Lowell?
Collegiate is a K-12 public charter school governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees. During the reviewed year, the Board adopted the FY27 budget, approved a campus master-planning consultant, and amended the expulsion policy. The school also implemented phone-free Yondr pouches in grades 5-12 and prepared a new grades 6-12 math curriculum for 2026-27.
The Board governs the K-12 charter school
Trustees approve budgets and policies, oversee the Executive Director, and monitor academic, financial, and facilities performance.
The FY27 budget is adopted
The Board unanimously approved the annual budget in April after reviewing tuition assumptions, staffing costs, operating expenses, capital investments, bond compliance, and a five-year roadmap.
Campus expansion options are being studied
The Board approved a consulting proposal for campus master planning. The record discusses a performing-arts center, additional high-school space, a weight room, and possible off-site property, but establishes no final project.
Student routines and curriculum are changing
Yondr phone pouches began in grades 5-12 in September 2025. The March record says Illustrative Math and revised writing and world-language work were planned for grades 6-12 in 2026-27.
The collected archive has no approved minutes for the annual meeting or the November, May, and June meetings. The June agenda's Early College designation and the May agenda's security, solar, and potential land-acquisition topics are therefore not reported as completed actions. The published FY27 minutes do not state a total budget amount.
