School Committee adopts district strategic plan

School Committee · Meeting of October 28, 2026

WOBURN — The Woburn School Committee voted unanimously to adopt the district's new strategic plan, formalizing instructional leadership teams, "culture, climate and belonging" teams and a revised hiring process already running in schools. Superintendent Crowley said the document "memorializ[es] what we already are doing and where we're headed." Curriculum staffer Ms. Young reported the district's two-year accountability score rose from 33 percent to roughly 50 percent, with 375 students districtwide within nine points of meeting ELA expectations and 394 in math. The committee also approved financial warrants dated October 9, including one for $1,603,199.12, and voted to send Vice Chair Crowley as its delegate to the Massachusetts Association of School Committees conference.

A resident, Jonathan Kubery, told the committee the district has "no procedure" for compiling a student's official record under federal privacy law.
