Boston Globe 6/27/10: Minuteman wages campaign to boost image beyond trades. Unlike other regional vocational schools around the state, Minuteman has had a longstanding history of low enrollment from its 16 member communities: Acton, Arlington, Belmont, Bolton, Boxborough, Concord, Carlisle, Dover, Lancaster, Lexington, Lincoln, Needham, Stow, Sudbury, Wayland, and Weston. Minuteman is about to embark upon an enrollment study that will look back at its struggles and look forward to predict its student population, part of preparations for a major project to renovate the building, which hasn’t been updated since opening in 1979. Minuteman could handle up to 800 full-time students from its member communities; this year’s enrollment from the 16 suburbs was 364, the lowest in its history. To round out its numbers, the school accepted 219 full-time students from outside communities, along with 118 part-time and postgraduate students.
