An informed citizenry makes their communities better. Our Select Board will strive to provide you with the knowledge and resources to help you help our community make this new and exciting educational opportunity for our children a reality. As the process evolves, our selectmen plan to hold “face-to-face” meetings to update you on progress, answer questions, and listen to feedback.

As noted from the outset, our vision is simple: we aspire to improve educational outcomes for our children with an innovative alternative to a traditional Middle School. We strive to do this by fulfilling the provisions of this act to establish our own 3-town school district and reconfiguring the Village District School to a K-8 model. A smaller tight-knit school district allows greater voter control over education costs and our citizens tax burden. It also provides more intimate input over curriculum and administrative policy, and shorter bus rides for Groton’s students. As noted above, sometimes smaller is better.
