# School Committee Meeting - October 19th, 2026 | Westford, MA

The Westford School Committee meeting of October 19, 2026, focused on the Robinson school building project and district updates. Members discussed enrollment options of 470, 705, and 1,065 students; the superintendent recommended the 705-student option, which would support combining the Robinson and Abbott communities in a K–5 model while leaving room to continue studying the Day School’s future. Discussion covered enrollment projections, school size and equity, traffic, building capacity, and the constraints of the Massachusetts School Building Authority process. The transcript does not clearly record a final vote selecting an enrollment option, and no construction contract, vendor, or project cost was identified. The finance subcommittee had also begun reviewing food service and athletics, but no purchasing action was reported.

The committee approved its consent agenda and discussed special education compliance and communication, social-emotional learning, and student activities. It also considered an update to policy P506 to allow a student from another grade to serve when a grade-level representative cannot be appointed; members suggested clarifying the appointment steps, with revisions to be discussed at the October 28 policy meeting and public comment open through November 4. No contract awards or specific spending allocations were reported.
