Dedham Master Facilities Plan 2019-2021

-
Dedham Public Schools are currently in the process of updating the Long Term Facilities Master Plan and identifying the best next steps in the improvement, renovation, or replacement of school facilities in Dedham. After the recently completed construction of the Dr. Thomas J. Curran Early Childhood Education Center, the focus of this effort is centered around reviewing and providing recommendations for the Greenlodge, Oakdale and Riverdale Elementary Schools, as well as Dedham High School, all of which have not undergone major renovations or reconstruction in the past 30 years or more.
This site will provide ongoing updates and the most current information available on this Facilities Master Plan process.
