K-6 & 7-12 Expansions 

The district is continuing its plan to reconfigure schools towards more clear and predictable pathways for students, as passed by the Boston School Committee. Our goal is to increase the number of students making only one transition during their K-12 experience by reconfiguring more pre-K-6 elementary schools and 7-12 secondary schools while preserving strong K-8/9-12 options for families. Fifteen schools will expand from K-5 to K-6, and one school will expand from 9-12 to 7-12 in September 2022. See the complete list of schools below.

BuildBPS is the 10-year education and facilities master plan for the Boston Public Schools (BPS), reflecting a $1 billion commitment from Mayor Martin J. Walsh. 

BuildBPS aims to

• Modernize schools to provide more spaces that facilitate 21st-century learning
• Embark on the construction of new school buildings, expanding classroom seats in areas of the city with the most need
• Minimize school transitions for students, adopting two preferred school grade configurations: K-6/7-12 and K-8/9-12
• Ensure greater equity of program placement to meet the needs of English learners, students with disabilities, and other populations.
