Facility Expansion and Construction Status

White Hill Middle School is currently under construction and the District expects accept the new classroom buildings as completed in late-October 2013 and occupy them in November 2013. The District and Architects conducted meetings with staff, parents and community members to solicit input on all four elementary school sites. Based on this input, the architects have developed the preliminary elementary school plans below.

Brookside Elementary School

The pre-design plans for Brookside Elementary were moved to the Schematic Design Phase. The work for this project, which includes five classrooms, a new Multipurpose Room and some hardscape modifications, has been split into two phases. The first phase, which is currently in design development, includes the construction of  5 new classrooms. This project will use modular classroom buildings that are expected to be ready for student occupancy for the 2014-2015 school year. The new multi-purpose building is in the project's second phase. A timeline for the second phase will be set after the sale of the next series of bonds.
