District Wide

By September 2025, the Superintendent of Schools will establish a Fields Working Group of representatives from local organizations, the Town of Ashland, School Finance, and School Facilities. The group will meet monthly to develop a comprehensive Framework outlining procedures and responsibilities that enable the Ashland Public Schools to manage the rental of school-based facilities. The completed Framework will be presented to the School Committee, Town Manager, and Select Board for review and approval by April 2026.

The Superintendent will review our current district policies and develop a framework that identifies a three-year plan for updating all district policies to align with District-Wide Goals, Massachusetts General Laws, and exemplars from the Massachusetts Association of School Committees.
