The Dracut School Committee and Board of Selectmen held a joint meeting on June 29, 2026 to discuss capital planning with a specific focus on the Joseph A. Campbell Elementary School and Greenmont Avenue Elementary School. The agenda highlights a discussion of Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) grants and a "pathway forward" on renovating and/or replacing these two facilities, indicating early-stage planning for a significant school construction or modernization project.The boards also planned a discussion and possible vote to request that MSBA extend the response timeline for a grant offer, suggesting they are still shaping project scope, funding strategy, and timing. This is a pre-RFP capital project signal where the district may need architectural, engineering, construction management, owner’s project management, and educational facility planning support to define options and cost out renovation versus replacement. Vendors can engage around helping the district refine scenarios, meet MSBA requirements, and prepare for subsequent design and construction procurements once the path is chosen.

Meeting is hybrid and explicitly focused on capital planning and MSBA grant strategy for two specific elementary schools, signaling early facility project development.
