Board planning committee advances Yankee Hill student support facility; annexation hearing set
Summary
The board's planning committee reviewed schematic designs for a 47,000-square-foot Yankee Hill student support facility and said annexation will be considered by the Lancaster Planning Commission on Sept. 17; the facility is expected to open for the 2027-28 school year.
The Lincoln Public Schools planning committee reported progress on a student support facility at the Yankee Hill Education Center site during the Sept. 9 board meeting.
The committee said the board previously approved revising the 10-year plan to include a 47,000-square-foot facility to house the Yankee Hill Education Center high school student support program and the high school transition program. The current Yankee Hill facility will be repurposed to house the independent success program for grades K-12.
The board received a schematic design booklet at the meeting. Committee members said the design process included input from students, families, staff and community organizations. The district is seeking annexation for the site; committee members said annexation will be before the Lancaster Planning Commission on Sept. 17.
Committee members told the board the new facility is projected to be ready for use in the 2027-28 school year. No final construction contract was discussed at the Sept. 9 meeting; committee members said the board is in the planning and schematic design stage and will return with further updates as required.
