The Pittsfield School Committee has voted to close Morningside Community School at the end of the 2025-26 school year. Students will be transferred to other elementary schools in the district as part of a restructuring plan.
The Pittsfield School Committee voted 6-0 to close Morningside Community School at the end of the 2025-26 school year. Students in grades K-4 will attend one of four remaining elementary schools: Allendale, Capeless, Egremont, or Williams. Interim Superintendent Latifah Phillips will lead efforts to communicate with families and develop a transition plan. A consultant will help redraw enrollment boundaries, with school assignments expected to be ready in June. The district will monitor the transition's impact on Morningside students. The school's closure is due to educational quality and equity concerns, not budget constraints. The building is expected to remain a community hub, hosting programs and resources for the neighborhood.
