Wildwood Building Project

WILDWOOD SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE OVERVIEW:

In May of 2020 the Wilmington School Committee and the Wilmington Board of Selectman authorized the Superintendent of Schools to submit to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) Statement of Interest Applications for our six (6) elementary schools and prioritized the Wildwood Elementary School’s application as the school that has the most urgent needs.

In April of 2021, the MSBA Board of Directors voted to invite the Wildwood Elementary School into the MSBA Eligibility Period. Wilmington was one of 15 school districts out of 71 who applied for assistance and was invited into the MSBA eligibility period. We are extremely fortunate that the MSBA has agreed to partner with our community and study possible solutions for the Wildwood.

This invitation kicks off a long journey for our community as we explore the future of the Wildwood. We will regularly include updates and developments on the project for the community on our website.
