Trottier and Finn expansion feasibility studies | southborough.infohttps://southborough.info/issues/trottier-finn-expansion-studies/2026-10-15T23:35:55-04:00School Committee, Mon, Feb 23: Articles 2 and 3: Trottier and Finn expansion feasibility studieshttps://southborough.info/topics/qoPRkdI2yfs/12026-02-23T12:00:00ZOfficials outlined Article 2 and Article 3, which propose studying alternatives that would take Neary School offline and expand the town's remaining schools. Article 2 requests up to $500,000 to study adding grade 5 at Trottier and grade 2 at Finn, while Article 3 requests up to $324,000 to evaluate expanding Finn to house grades PreK through 3. School leaders reported that moving grades out of Neary would require additions of 10,000 to 12,000 square feet at Trottier and 9,000 to 11,000 square feet at Finn to prevent severe cuts to educational programming. Outcome: The School Committee recommended that Special Town Meeting defeat Articles 2 and 3.
