K-8 Strategic Project & New Primary School

The K-8 Strategic Project & New Primary School project is a holistic strategic solution for our K-8 schools to solve facilities inadequacies and inefficiencies by reorganizing grade levels, aligning our student populations, and building a new consolidated primary school that addresses educational equity, operational efficiency, population growth, flexibility, safety & security, and 21st century learning and teaching methods.

Background

Why?

We have already exceeded the capacity of our existing schools. Our infrastructure does not support our student's basic educational needs. We need a sustainable solution to house our current and growing population.

See the recent 2022-2022 Enrollment Projection Study on our Project History page.

Why Now?

First page of the PDF file: ProjectTimeline_UpdatedThroughNovember2023_V31_1 — *Project Timeline through November 2023*

We need a solution to support today's kids and plan for continued housing starts. The planning and construction process will take approximately five years.

Goals?

Consolidate the 3 Primary Schools as part of a K-8 strategic solution.
Remove all 30 District Portables. » Alleviate overcrowding at the Middle School.
Strategically coordinate and align the project with other community initiatives and the town comprehensive plan.
