Superintendent Tracy Curley announced to parents that it’s not a question of if the school district will change the borders of its assigned schools, but when and how.

In a letter to parents issued Nov. 19 via the ParentSquare app, Curley stated that Fall River Public Schools will need to redraw the borders designating which students are assigned to the city’s kindergarten to Grade 8 schools.

It’s not clear when this would occur, but Curley’s statement said the district is planning for “school year 2027 and beyond.”

“The redistricting is necessary as we look toward decreasing class sizes, addressing the increasing need for transportation, and ensuring an equitable distribution of students across the district,” the statement reads.
