Only three of Framingham s nine elementary schools are south of Route 9. (Shutterstock)
FRAMINGHAM, MA The Framingham School Committee has taken a major step toward the construction of a new elementary school south of Route 9, although it may be years before shovels hit the ground.
The committee on Wednesday unanimously voted to enter the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) funding process, which could bring tens of millions of dollars for a new school. But it s just the first step in a long process.

It was another five years until Framingham voters approved a debt exclusion to pay for Fuller in 2018.
