Monatiquot Approved as Kindergarten Center
The former Braintree elementary school is currently being used by Montessori and full-day kindergarten.
The Braintree School Committee Monday night unanimously approved opening Monatiquot School as a kindergarten center next year.
Superintendent Dr. Maureen Murray confirmed the vote Tuesday morning. She said that additional details, such as the school's hours of operations and the makeup of half-day and full-day classes will be forthcoming.
Monatiquot currently houses two full-day kindergarten classrooms in the portion of the Brow Avenue building not used by Meeting House Montessori, which has a lease ending June 30, 2014.
Completely re-opening the former Braintree elementary school will add 12 classrooms. Dr. Murray previously said that under the kindergarten center plan, one classroom each would be freed at Flaherty, Hollis, Liberty and Ross. Three classrooms would open at Morrison and two at Highlands.
