On Dec. 13, 2023, the Town of Chelmsford was accepted into the Massachusetts School Building Authority’s eligibility period, the first, significant step toward receiving funding for a building project focused on Colonel Moses Parker Middle School.
Project status
Chelmsford’s 270-day eligibility period commenced on April 1, 2024, and will conclude on Dec. 27, 2024. During this time, the Town must complete several preliminary requirements, the first being completion of the Initial Compliance Certification (ICC). That document was signed by Town Manager Paul Cohen, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jay Lang and School Committee Chair Dennis King and submitted on April 10, 2024.
On Monday, April 29, Town Meeting voted to approve Article 8, “to appropriate, borrow or transfer from available funds, an amount of money to be expended under the direction of the School Building Committee for a feasibility study for the Colonel Moses Parker Middle School.”
The next steps for the district include the formation of a School Building Committee, followed by the completion of an Educational Profile and Online Enrollment Projection.
