Good Afternoon Milford Public Schools Community,
As the Board of Education works towards the completion of its Long Range Facilities Master Plan, we want to keep our community informed and involved in every step of this important process.
Where We Are Now
On February 3, our consultant, Perkins Eastman, presented findings indicating that there is currently no viable land available to support a single consolidated high school. Based on this analysis, the Board has committed to moving forward with plans that retain and improve our existing two comprehensive high schools.
What’s Next — And How You Can Participate
In the coming weeks, the Board will review recommendations and host interactive engagement sessions. These sessions are designed to gather meaningful community input as the Board considers the final plan. Locations for these sessions will be finalized and communicated to you in the coming weeks.
Upcoming Meetings & Engagement Opportunities:
February 23 – BOE Meeting - Perkins Eastman presentation on middle schools - Parsons Government Center Board Room, 7 p.m.
March 2 – Interactive Public Engagement Session (Middle School Focus)
March 16 –BOE Meeting - Perkins Eastman presentation on elementary schools
March 30 – Interactive Public Engagement Session (Elementary School Focus)
April 13 – BOE Meeting - Presentation of the Draft Master Plan
April 20 – Interactive Public Engagement Session (Master Plan Focus)
April 27 – BOE Meeting - Public Hearing and Board Vote on the Master Plan
Your voice matters. These engagement sessions are structured to allow for dialogue, questions, and feedback that will inform the final plan. In addition, every regular Board meeting includes time for public comment.
Stay Informed
All presentations, reports, and related materials are available on the MPS website. Perkins Eastman has also developed a comprehensive dashboard that provides easy access to data, timelines, and planning documents to help you stay informed.
This plan will shape the future of our schools for decades to come. We encourage every parent, student, staff member, and community member to participate, ask questions, and share your perspective.
Together, we can ensure the final plan reflects the needs and priorities of our entire community.
Sincerely,
Susan Glennon, Chair Anna M. Cutaia, Ed.D., Superintendent
