Ruth Batson Academy (Formerly BCLA-McCormack)

We are committed to moving forward with plans to build out high-quality space on the Columbia Point campus that meets the programming needs of the full Ruth Batson Academy (formerly the Boston Community Leadership Academy-McCormack) community. Phase 1 of these renovations included a $3 million investment to construct two new science labs and a life skills room and were completed in the Fall of 2022. We plan to come back to the school community with updated options for Phase 2 of building renovations, and we are proposing more than $12 million in the Fiscal Year 2024 Capital Plan to start the design process.
