WARWICK Continuing discussions from two weeks ago, the Selectboard voted to create a Pro Tempore School Governance Committee that will develop plans for an independent elementary school, and appointed six new members.
The Pioneer Valley Regional School District School Committee voted in January 2020 to cease use of the Warwick Community School building and its 25-acre property, which is owned by Warwick, as a cost-saving measure, a decision that Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Commissioner Jeffrey Riley later approved. Since then, members of the Warwick Education Committee have been holding regular meetings in hopes of reopening the Warwick Community School as an independent elementary school.

WARWICK Following an affirmative vote from the Selectboard this week, Warwick will work with faculty and interns at Antioch University in Keene, N.H., to design a curriculum in advance of reopening the town’s elementary school and to develop a place-based summer learning program.
The Warwick Education Committee hopes to reopen Warwick Community School independent from the Pioneer Valley Regional School District, which closed the facility last spring for the fall of 2022. While dates for the summer program are not set yet, Selectboard member Brian Snell said town officials believe it will start one week after the Pioneer school district’s academic year ends this summer.
