As you may be aware, on Monday May 17, 2021, Massachusetts Governor Baker issued revised State guidance for COVID safety, which eliminated some of the restrictions around mask requirements. After meeting with the Dedham Health Dept. and with approval from the School Committee, new COVID-19 guidelines are now in effect at all Dedham Public Schools.
The Dedham School Committee unanimously voted to approve this budget request at their meeting on Wednesday, February 3, 2021. The proposed FY2022 budget request returns the focus of Dedham Public Schools operations to our mission of student engagement, inclusion and opportunity. We seek to recover some of the reductions made last year in order to balance the FY21 Budget. Specifically, we need to restart our efforts and commitments to high quality educator professional development, and the continued evolution of our district’s comprehensive investment in district-based special education programming.
DHS will hold the Class of 2021 Graduation at 11am on June 5th (June 6th rain date) outdoors at Memorial Field. The commencement ceremony will follow all safety guidelines issue by the State as of April 28th. Congrats DHS Class of 2021!
