Who decides what happens at Henderson Lower?

A BPS school with a district-approved campus change ahead

Boston Public Schools and its appointed School Committee govern district policy, budget, and major school changes. Henderson Lower is currently the K0–1 campus of the Henderson Inclusion School. The public school-specific record is dominated by the Committee's December 2025 approval to merge the Lower and Upper campuses into one PreK–8 community in 2027.

The Boston School Committee made the reconfiguration decision

BPS states that the Committee approved the Henderson shift, merger, and reconfiguration on December 17, 2025.

The Lower building is planned to expand Pre-K capacity

BPS says grade 1 will move to the Upper building so the Lower building can add Pre-K capacity.

The planned school will be PreK–8

The current Lower and Upper campuses are planned to become one PreK–8 school community at the end of the 2026–27 school year.

Local leadership records are not publicly reconstructable

No trailing-year Governing Board, School Site Council, School Parent Council, or current school-plan archive was found in the searched official school and BPS channels.

The missing online local-leadership archive does not establish that those groups did not meet; it means their work cannot be verified from the searched public record.

Henderson Lower and Upper campus reconfiguration

Approved

BPS says the approved plan will merge the Lower and Upper campuses into one PreK–8 community, move grade 1 to the Upper building, and end Upper grades 9–12 and the Transition Program beginning in fall 2027.

Next: BPS says a Senior Project Manager and a school-based Transition Support Coordinator will support implementation; the collected record does not give a later public milestone or a final building-use schedule.
