Building an inspired and empowered tomorrow.
The Plan Beyond the Promise
BPS Forward is Branford Public Schools’ long-term plan to make major, phased investments in our school buildings and infrastructure across our District.
Many of Branford’s schools were built decades ago and require significant repairs, upgrades, and modernization. Our goal is to lay out how these projects will move forward, so urgent needs are addressed first and the community can follow progress over time.
“Our buildings shape how teaching and learning happen every day. This process helped us step back and think about what students actually need now and in the years ahead.”
Peter Berdon
Board Chair
