Superintendent Jenny Gatto told the board the new Flint Shaw PK–8 campus will open in 2028, consolidating Johnny Flynn, Marzano Academy and Shaw Heights Middle School. The district cited the 2024 bond that allocated $40,000,000 for construction and outlined a temporary two-year transition plan and family engagement resources.

Superintendent Jenny Gatto told the board the district’s new Flint Shaw PK–8 campus, to be named in December, will open in 2028 and combine John E. Flynn, Marzano Academy and Shaw Heights Middle School programs into a single modern campus.

Gatto said the project is funded by the 2024 bond, which allocated $40,000,000 for construction, and described a two-year transition during which Flynn students will attend classes in the renovated Shaw Building while major construction takes place at Flynn. Jimmy Chisholm will serve as principal during the transition and the district plans to keep staff placements and many traditions from both communities intact.

The administration created a project website (wps.org/falconfamilies) with FAQs, images and a place for community memories and input; the district will host an open house at Shaw Heights on Jan. 15 for families. Officials emphasized communication will continue as construction proceeds and that temporary classroom arrangements are intended to preserve safety and instructional continuity.
