Tomahawk Intermediate opens new fourth-grade wing funded by November 2022 bond
Summary
Dr. Emma Trudeau, principal of Tomahawk Intermediate, announced a new fourth-grade wing with five classrooms to serve more than 100 students, paid for by the November 2022 bond; work on a third-grade wing has begun.
Dr. Emma Trudeau, principal of Tomahawk Intermediate, said the school is welcoming students to a new fourth-grade wing that includes five classrooms and will serve more than 100 students. The addition, she said, was funded by the November 2022 bond passed by Berkeley County voters.
"We are so excited to welcome you to our new fourth grade wing," Trudeau said, describing features designed for student comfort and energy efficiency. She said the space includes storage, auto-dimming lights that respond to natural daylight and an energy-efficient heating and air system intended to lower energy costs.
The principal said construction of the fourth-grade addition is part of a broader effort to respond to rapid community growth. "This is just the beginning of our work," Trudeau said, adding that the district has already started on a new third-grade wing to accommodate more students.
Berkeley County Schools confirmed the project was made possible by the November 2022 bond; no dollar amount was specified in the remarks. No formal vote or additional funding details were announced during the recorded remarks.
Trudeau opened the short announcement addressing families and guiding them to view the new space: "So let's go take a look." The comments focused on facility capacity and energy-saving features rather than on schedule specifics or construction costs.
School officials did not provide a timeline for completing the third-grade wing or a breakdown of bond spending during the recorded remarks.
