Educational Model report narrows Dedham's school-facility choices
Dedham Public Schools · Aug 13, 2026
What happened
The Rennie Center evaluated ten grade-configuration and facilities scenarios and recommended advancing three options that would move elementary students into better buildings while balancing time and cost.
Why it matters to families
The School Committee expects to select three scenarios in mid-to-late September for deeper Facilities Master Plan analysis, setting the direction for school consolidation, renovation, or construction decisions.
The evidence
The August 13 executive summary says maintaining the status quo is not viable, identifies four buildings in poor condition, compares ten scenarios, and recommends three for the next stage.
