Background on Fuller Project

The vote is to approve funding to rebuild Fuller Middle School. The 60-year-old school suffers structural deficiencies, inefficient and inoperable systems and does not adequately support the educational curriculum, according to the school district.

The project has been almost five years in the making and envisions a total redesign of the school from the ground up, at a cost of $98.3 million. The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) is offering the city a grant of approximately $39.5 million if the project is approved.

The school committee and district have been outspoken in support for the Fuller Middle School project. They argue that the current plan is the most cost-effective way to give students a sound education.
