CAMPUS SITES

  • Site plans completed and under review by local jurisdictions

  • Surveys of existing sites completed in preparation for construction

  • Construction logistics planning meetings now underway

  • Building to be constructed onsite next to current facilities: no swing space required for schools

  • Traffic studies completed

  • Locations for new school construction determined onsite for K-6, 7-12 and Preschool Village campuses (see above diagram)

  • Site planning revealed current Central Office facility falls within the footprint of new 7-12 school building

  • Central Office relocated from existing site to make way for construction to a temporary modular administrative building behind the Intermediate School until K-6 construction is completed

  • Central Office to be relocated into the Preschool Village (current Intermediate School) following completion of K-6 campus and required modifications of that building, estimated timeframe to be 2021-2022

  • Community Learning Center (CLC) *** planned for K-6 campus

 

FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
  • Land Use Plan led by the WW Board of Education being developed
  • Restoring busing when the buildings are completed

  • Shared community spaces and potential partnerships for these spaces
