Pepperell will formally tell the school committee and its finance committee that it opposes reopening Ashby School. The town said the proposal was raised shortly before the fiscal year 2027 budget process and was not included in the existing school budget. Officials warned that the added cost could require a tax override, although the current proposed budget might already require one.
