Ruth Batson Academy was accepted into the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) Core Program in 2024. Since our acceptance, we have been working on the requirements set by the MSBA during the Eligibility Period (EP). In the EP we have:

  • submitted an enrollment questionnaire to the MSBA
  • submitted an Ed profile, and
  • formed a School Building Committee which will guide the project’s progress and vote on key design decisions.

The Eligibility Period will wrap up in late Sspring 2026, at which point a successful MSBA board vote will allow us to continue into the Feasibility Study period.
