PROJECT STATUS UPDATE: There was a special election on Tuesday, June 11, 2024 to decide whether or not to approve a debt exclusion to fund a new consolidated elementary school in Stoughton. A majority of voters were against funding this project. Where does the result of this vote leave this building project? It remains a priority for the district to continue to pursue building a new consolidated elementary school as this remains the best option for our students’ education and the town’s finances. The intent is to hold a revote for funding the project in April 2025, to coincide with Stoughton’s annual town election.

We remain committed to providing the best quality education for the children of Stoughton and will continue to keep our community up to date with this project.

LATEST UPDATE: The Select Board met on December 3, 2024 and unanimously voted to move forward with scheduling a special Town Meeting about funding the new elementary school building project. This is another positive development in eventually being able to hold a town-wide vote for approving the project. The next step is that the Select Board will meet and open a warrant for a special Town Meeting. This special Town Meeting would be held in February. If Town Meeting members show support for the project at the special Town Meeting, the Select Board would then schedule an election, which would coincide with the Annual Town Election in April.  

We're excited to work toward a brighter future and build a new elementary school that will benefit the Town of Stoughton and Stoughton's children. Take a look at the information and resources included here to learn more about this project.
