to bring the numbers of boarding students and day students to parity over the next five to seven years.
Overall school size will stay the same.
This decision intends to restore Milton to its historical identity and traditions, rather than bring about a new and unfamiliar School.
As the trustees stated in their report, "the understanding of Milton Academy as a boarding and day school is an essential component of the Academy's history and tradition, as well as a key feature of the School's vibrant and unique culture today."
Certainly, New England boarding schools that compete with Milton for top students have an interest in keeping the notion alive that Milton is predominantly a day school.

The Russia Journal Being at the top of the charts charts in most areas is something of which to be proud.
But Russia's ranking at the top of the tables for its extraordinary numbers of orphans is not a widely-publicized statistic.
Most children's homes are over-crowded and under-funded; up to 300 children of various ages may be living under the same roof.
Horror stories about Russian children being taken abroad and sold for their body parts have been publicized to support the argument against this practice.
But despite patriotic outcry and negative press, the adoption market has continued to grow over recent years.
