Just ahead of the start of the new school year, Branford Public Schools’ central offices have moved into a new office space suite, intentionally built for BPS to occupy, as part of the new Walsh Intermediate School (WIS) academic wing.

BPS central/Board of Education offices had been located at 1111 Main Street in downtown Branford. The building, which belongs to the Town of Branford, is currently part of Town building inventory. There has been no recent public discussion of future plans for its next use. The building once served as Branford’s main post office.

BPS completed its move into the new location and began operating out of the space at WIS, 185 Damascus Road on Aug. 8. The central office is accessed by a separate, side entrance located on the ground floor of the building.

Branford public school students go back to school for a full day on Thursday, Sept. 1 to begin the 2022-23 academic year.
