School Board Mulls $85 Million Referendum for New School, Grade Realignment

August 29, 2013 Board of Education Taxes

Sampson-G-Smith-School — The Sampson G. Smith Intermediate School would be realigned to a middle school under the school board’s proposed referendum.

The Board of Education is preparing to “market” to residents a proposed $85 million referendum which would result in a new elementary school and a realignment of elementary and middle school grade configurations.

Plans are drawn for the work, which includes about $45 million for a new Pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade school on Claremont Road – designed to hold between 960 and 1,070 students –but a date has not yet been set to ask voters if they want to fund the project.
