Peabody Receives Historic Reproduction of Declaration of Independence
The city has received a historic reproduction of the Declaration of Independence, according to a News Flash posted to Peabody's official website, while City Hall also circulated new information for voters ahead of the state primary election.
TOWN HALL
Peabody announced it has received a historic reproduction of the Declaration of Independence, per a notice posted to the city's News Flash page, though the city did not detail the document's origin or where it will be displayed. The announcement lands under Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt Jr.'s administration, which also posted a separate notice this week laying out state primary election information for residents, including dates and details ahead of the vote. Neither notice included further specifics in the material the city made public.
SCHOOLS
Peabody Public Schools' 2026-2027 kindergarten registration remains open, the district said on its website, as families look ahead to the fall term. The district did not post a registration deadline in the material available. The district's next posted School Committee meetings and calendar events, including a School Committee retreat and a regular School Committee meeting, fall in mid-to-late August, outside the coming week.
