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.
