Concord Middle School Location and Funding Update

If the Concord School District is forced to backtrack on the location of the new middle school, it wouldn’t jeopardize any state building aid for the project.

That information – confirmed by a state education official Monday – is in direct contrast to what school leaders have told the community about revisiting the vote to relocate the school from its current location on South Street to raw land on the East Side of the city – a decision that has stirred community uproar.

In fact, Concord has already moved the location of the proposed middle school since it applied for aid without losing its place in line.

The district first submitted its application to the state in 2022 based on plans to build the school on Clinton Street.
