Medford School Committee OKs Updated Chapter 74 Vocational Form

Medford School Committee · Meeting of July 10, 2026

Medford School Committee unanimously approves updated Chapter 74 vocational form for new high school. Meeting remotely in a special Friday session, the seven-member committee voted 7-0 to approve a Massachusetts School Building Authority-requested update reflecting current enrollment and waitlist data. The form identifies four new vocational programs tied to the high school project, dental assisting, criminal justice and protective services, plumbing, and information systems, with plumbing and information systems launching next school year and the other two waiting for the new building, anticipated to open for the 2030-31 school year.

"They've just asked us to update it with more current enrollment and waitlist information," the staff presenter told the committee. The vote came ahead of a Facilities Assessment Committee meeting the following week, which required the form finalized first.
