| | | | | | | | | | Description:
The adopted and approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the construction of the new Elementary School on Ryan Ave. The new 180,000 square foot building will open in September of 2021 as a K-8 school with a Science, Technology, Engineering , Art and Music (STEAM) focus. This theme will be intergrated throughout the K-8 curriculum. The new school consists of 70 classrooms (regular and special education), six (6) science labs, two (2) computer labs, two (2) art rooms (one of which will be graphic arts), three (3) music rooms (one of which will be a digital keyboard lab), and two (2) makerspaces (K-5 and 6-8), health suite, gymnasium, instructional material center (IMC), cafeteria and multiple administrative offices to provide support to parents, teachers and students. The project budget includes the purchase of new furniture and equipment for the newly constructed school. Furniture will be procured from vendors who are a part of the PA Commonwealth Cooperative Programs. By using the identified vendors, we are guaranteed the lowest, most competitive price. The Office of Capital Programs has established a delivery deadline of July 1, 2021, to ensure all spaces are furnished in time for the opening of the new school. This work is in support of the Operations goal to provide safe and healthy learning environments for all students.
Guardrail 1: Every school will be a safe, welcoming and healthy place where our students, staff and community want to be and learn each day.
Guardrail 2: Every student will have a well-rounded education with co-curricular opportunities, including arts and athletics, integrated into the school experience.
