Superintendent John J. Cabral and School Committee Chairman Dr. Gregory De Melo are pleased to announce that Taunton Public Schools has acquired the property at 2 Hamilton Street, formerly Coyle-Cassidy High and Middle School.
The Taunton City Council voted unanimously during a Committee of the Whole Meeting on Tuesday, October 29, to transfer control of the building to the School Department.
The property offers an exceptional opportunity for the Taunton Public Schools to address programming needs and expand services as enrollment across the district continues to increase. The School Department is considering several potential uses for the building and will seek input from the community, students, families, staff, and other stakeholders.
The City of Taunton has committed to funding and performing the necessary work to bring the building up to code for K-12 educational use before students return.
Bristol Community College is currently leasing space in the building.
