Dedham Public Schools are pleased to share the news that we have extended an offer to Ms. Jennifer Dolan to join our team as the new Principal of Dedham Middle School. Ms. Dolan’s extensive experience in leading upper level schools, combined with her collaborative, passionate personality stood out as qualities that make her an ideal choice to assume the leadership role at our Middle School. She will officially take on the role beginning on July 1, 2025, but will be working with Principal Hillman, Assistant Principal Benzie and the team at DMS leading up to that time to ensure that we have a smooth transition.
The Dedham Public Schools remain firmly committed to preserving the essential programs and services that support student learning, development, and well-being. However, we are facing considerable fiscal challenges that require difficult decisions and shared understanding across our school community. Through the budget development process, the Budget Subcommittee approved an increase of 5.67%, which necessitates a reduction of approximately $1.2 million from the level service budget. More recently, the Town’s Finance and Warrant Committee recommended a 4.0% budget increase for the schools. Should this recommendation be adopted by Town Meeting, the District would need to make an additional $1 million in cuts.
