MSBA Board Votes to Move Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Lynn into Schematic Design Phase

The Schematic Design phase will look at possible options for the replacement of the school with a new facility on the site of the current school building.

I don't know why they would have written that. The schematic design offered was the Brookline site following the unanimous votes of the School Committee and the Council following public presentations and comments which eliminated the Porter St. and Adams St. Extension sites which, if I remember correctly took place in the latter part of 2012. These votes are what precipitated the eminent domain taking.
