Master Plan

a ten-year WPS Facilities Master Plan: 2016-17 to 2026-27

Developed 2016-17 by Boston architectural firm Flansburgh Architects, the Winchester Public Schools' Facilities Master Plan is a vision for the support, expansion, consolidation, or transformation of district facilities that provides flexibility to accommodate changes in enrollment, educational goals and programming.

Second Opinion

After the 10-Year Facilities Master Plan was completed in July of 2017, the School Committee and Board commissioned an independent, third-party review or “second opinion” on its five-year and ten-year enrollment projections. The UMass Donohue Institute (UMDI) was selected for this task. In November, UMDI issued its report validating the Master Plan's projected double-digit enrollment growth. A summary of this report was presented to 2017 Fall Town Meeting.
