Each year, the Nashoba Regional School Committee convenes to conduct a public hearing and decide on whether to enable students from neighboring districts to enroll in our schools through the school choice program. On Wednesday, April 30, 2025 the Committee voted to approve the Superintendent's recommendation to close school choice enrollment for specific grades, while maintaining limited availability for others. This decision was reached after careful consideration of data presented during the school committee meeting on April 9, 2025.
