Transportation
Due to the lack of a funding source, the North Andover School Committee has determined that the district is unable to offer a reduction in bus fees to redistricted students.  The district does offer a reduced bus fee for families that meet income eligibility requirements. Please visit the Transportation Web Site for further information www.northandoverstudenttrans.com

Redistricting Update – January 14th

 The Redistricting Committee met on January 5th to review four options that had been developed.  A subcommittee met again on January 8th to confirm data and continue analyzing the initial proposal of four options.  Through the evolution of the initial four options, the Committee is now confirming data and analyzing nine options. 

The Redistricting Committee met again on January 13th to review the nine options. As a result of the Committee’ work last evening, 5 options were eliminated from further consideration. The committee continues to analyze and validate the numbers on the remaining four options. Once finalized, the options will be posted on the North Andover School Website. The Committee's goal is to have the information available on the website for the community to review prior to the public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, January 27th at 7:00 p.m. at the North Andover High School auditorium.
