History

In February 1945 the district created its Department of Audio-Visual Aids. [4]

In a five year period from 1993 to 1998, enrollment increased by 25% in the district's elementary schools. Around 1998 the district had passed a roof repair and asbestos referendum worth $2.2 million. Three schools had their roofs repaired. The same referendum also funded the installation of a new fire alarm system at Revere High School. [5]

In 2001 the school district began a $83.5 million construction program to build four new school buildings, which together were to house five schools. [6]

By 2005, the Massachusetts Legislature approved the request of the Revere school system to use June 17, Bunker Hill Day, as a day of school instruction. [7]

In 2009 groups of parents objected to a Massachusetts General Hospital-operated clinic at Revere High School that provided contraception services. The parents started a petition to have a November 3, 2009, bill to eliminate these services. [8] The voters in the city ultimately did not approve of the vote for removing the contraception services. [9]

In 2014 an increase in the number of immigrants occurred district-wide, and the high school now has a program for new immigrants. [10]
