Board clarifies new elementary school will not open before 2028; 2026 completion rumors inaccurate
Summary
Board members said state approval of funding does not mean construction will finish by 2026; the earliest realistic opening is fall 2028 or 2029, the board said.
Board members addressed rumors that a potential new elementary school would be completed by 2026 after state funding approval. A board member said such timelines are inaccurate and that the earliest the school could open would be fall 2028 or 2029.
A speaker told the board that the district has consistently communicated a later opening timeline and asked members to note that construction and project timelines typically extend beyond initial funding approvals. “So The earliest the earliest it could open would be the fall of 28, 29, the earliest,” the speaker said.
Board members emphasized the need to manage community expectations about property issues and construction timing; no new project schedule or formal motion to authorize construction was recorded in the provided excerpt.
