Superintendent Dr. Chu told the school committee the district has begun a slow rollout of a new logo and letterhead and plans to launch a redesigned, more user‑friendly website on April 1. She credited alum and intern Mia Gosselin with helping develop the logo concept last summer.
Dr. Chu said the district will hold a two‑hour hybrid community coffee next Monday evening to solicit input on the next strategic district improvement plan that will guide work to 2030. The event is intended to elicit feedback about the current strategic plan’s effectiveness and priorities for the next plan.
Separately, a committee member reported Westford Academy will send nearly 300 students to the Massachusetts DECA competition at UMass Lowell, and announced that Tony Memmel—a guitarist who adapted his playing method after being born with one hand—will give a free public concert and speak with grades 3–5 at Stony Brook Middle School on Monday, Jan. 26.
The superintendent asked staff to post budget and event links prominently on the district website and recommended keeping the community‑coffee materials and Q&A documents available online.
