Springfield, MA, Public School
System Plans Pilot School
Admissions Director Laurie Hurd,
of Hyde School in Maine, reports the Springfield Massachusetts public
school system is planning a pilot school based on the Hyde School concept.
It initially will involve about 200 students in the 9th and 10th grades
and implementation will be assisted by the Hyde Foundation. The Hyde
School concept focuses on mental, physical, and social growth with parents
being an integral part of the process. If successful, the approach could
spread to the entire system.
