Oakdale Elementary Building Project
The current Oakdale Elementary Building Project will explore ways in which the Town can capitalize on state funding to improve and update Dedham’s Oakdale Elementary School facilities. The project has explored all potential construction opportunities, from the reconstruction of the Oakdale School alone, to a broader plan with multi-site review and a different approach to elementary school configuration.
