Plymouth Public Schools Redistricting Plan

Redistricting Update

The Plymouth Public Schools is considering redistricting options which may go into effect for the 2023-2024 school year. The following short video clarifies the redistricting exercise initiated last fall.

During the November 21st School Committee meeting, Plymouth Public Schools administration provided an update on the Redistricting Plan. The Plymouth community was invited to attend the November 21st meeting to ask questions and to hear updates. Visit Electronic School Board for more information regarding future dates.

Presently, the School Committee is scheduled to vote on any final recommendations during the February 6th School Committee meeting. We will provide continuous updates to this timeline.

Rationale

Plymouth Public Schools has initiated a comprehensive redistricting process that could change attendance zones at some of the District’s 12 schools in the future. This work is taking place through the support of a Redistricting Advisory Committee consisting of 12 parents representatives, school committee members and district administrators. Throughout the process, the Plymouth Public Schools will be seeking input from parents/guardians, students, staff, community, and other stakeholders.

The redistricting process is necessary to optimize facility utilization, or more simply, to make sure our buildings are being used to serve students in the best way possible.

It is anticipated that this process will take approximately 5-6 months. At the conclusion of the 6 months, the results and recommendations will be presented to the School Committee. The Committee will continue to engage the public through April of 2022 prior to reaching a final decision on any boundary adjustments.

Any recommendations that may be approved by the School Committee will go into effect for the 2023-24 school year.
