FRAMINGHAM – Juniors are out of luck when it comes to the lottery for parking spaces at Framingham High for the 2022-23 school year.

SOURCE has learned that all parking spaces will go to members of the Class of 2023, when it comes to the parking space lottery.

The high school received a huge volume of requests from members of the senior class, so there will be not spot for juniors – members of the Class of 2024 – this school year.

According to DESE, Framingham High has more than 2,400 students.

The administration is emailing juniors and their families today, August 26.

School starts on Wednesday, August 31.

Earlier this month, the school district also announced it may not have enough bus spaces for all those who want a space, as the district is short 17 drivers for 77 routes.

Under state law, the school district is only required to bus individuals in grades 9-12 who live more than 2 miles from the school.

“Unfortunately, our efforts to explore additional parking solutions in the area for our student drivers, particularly the empty lot at the bottom of A Street, have not resulted in a solution to the student parking supply and demand issue,” the high school administration told the 9 elected School Committee members today.
