At the January 14, 2026 Board of Education meeting the superintendent explained that the district began accepting out-of-town preschoolers about two years ago to fill otherwise-empty seats: adding a fourth preschool class left seats unfilled, and out-of-town children, who pay full tuition of $6,000, keep the room sustained as in-town enrollment grows (~59:37). Nine out-of-town children were enrolled this year; with more Andover residents enrolling, four are projected for next year.
