Education for Boxborough: 1783 to 2013: March 22

Since 2014 Boxborough has been part of the Acton Boxborough Region School District for all grades.  But what about the 230 years before that?  How were Boxborough children educated? When did education become compulsory? How many one room school houses still exist in town? Who built the Blanchard School? How did the Acton Boxborough Regional School District first come about? On Sunday March 22 at 2 PM in the Boxborough Town Hall, John Fallon, a two term past member of both the Boxborough and Acton Boxborough School Committees, will discuss 230 years of Boxborough education. The program is free and all are welcome.
