STOUGHTON, MA Stoughton took a major step towards potentially building a new South Elementary School.
The Massachusetts School Building Authority invited Stoughton Public Schools into its eligibility phase that could bring a new elementary school to the southern area of town.
This phase doesn t guarantee state officials will provide a grant for a new school, but Stoughton was one of just 15 school districts invited into the program this year, Superintendent John Marcus said.
QUINCY The Squatum Elementary School is set to be rebuilt or undergo major renovations nearly 102 years after it first opened to the city s children.
The Massachusetts School Building Authority voted Wednesday to accept the school into its building program after rejecting it twice before. The program provides millions of dollars to communities with schools in major need of repair and in recent years has helped rebuild Quincy s South-West Middle School, Weymouth s Chapman school and Scituate s Gates Middle School.
