The assessment method is under review
Harwich and Chatham’s joint working group is examining how each town’s contribution to Monomoy Regional School District is calculated. An update published in Chatham’s October 30, 2026 newsletter says the group is reviewing data before making recommendations.
Its objectives include analyzing the existing formula’s effects on both towns, communicating findings, retaining students within the district and making effective use of capacity across grades. The update announces no replacement formula or approved change in either town’s share.
The next listed meeting is in Chatham
The newsletter schedules the group’s next meeting for December 3 at 5:30 p.m., at the Town Office Annex, 261 George Ryder Road, Chatham. Check the posted agenda closer to that date.
The review involves town and school representatives, with non-voting citizen and student participants.
