For your information, the community of South Field was developed by the South Shore Tri-Town Development Corporation on the former site of the Weymouth Naval Air Station, pursuant to Chapter 301 of the Acts of 1998, as amended by section 37 of Chapter 303 of the Acts of 2008.

Pursuant to the legislation, these students are deemed residents of Weymouth for school attendance purposes and South Field is authorized to enter into an agreement with the Town of Weymouth for the provision of school services.
