After two years of planning a v to combat financial strain and overcrowding at some schools, Fall River is poised to begin implementing plans that could affect where students will head to school this fall. 

The Fall River School Committee voted unanimously at the May 6 meeting to grant school administrators the green light to proceed with notifying Fall River Public School families and students of potential school reassignments — leaving open the opportunity for parents to request to change their student’s school assignment after June 15, according to the most recent information listed on the FRPS website. 

Those requests will be reviewed as they come in by district officials, and “We’ll try to honor the request,” interim Deputy Superintendent Elizabeth Legault said at the May 6 meeting.
