The Carmel and Brewster Boards of Education have approved a resolution to adjust the boundary lines between the two school districts, placing a new housing complex that straddles the Carmel-Southeast town line within the Brewster School District.

Why it matters

This decision will ensure students living in the new housing development have access to the Brewster School District, which may offer different educational programs and resources compared to the Carmel School District.

The details

The housing complex, which is currently under construction, is located on the border between the towns of Carmel and Southeast. By shifting the district boundary, all students living in the new development will now be zoned for the Brewster School District instead of Carmel.

  • The Carmel and Brewster Boards of Education approved the boundary line change resolution in April 2026.
  • The new housing complex is currently under construction.
