District project update: New elementary under construction; athletic campus fields now likely delayed into 2028
Summary
District staff told the board March 16 that earthwork is underway for the new K–2 elementary school and a roughly $4 million renovation for the high‑school tech hub is in the works, but construction and permitting timelines make it likely athletic fields at the intended athletic campus will not be playable until 2028.
District staff presented a detailed campus master‑plan update at the March 16 New Albany-Plain Local Schools Board of Education meeting, reporting that site clearing and earthwork have begun for the new all‑day K–2 elementary school and that contractors have mobilized on site.
The presenter said construction fencing, temporary roadways and a service drive for bus access are installed and that trees have been removed to make way for grading and topsoil work. The district discovered an unanticipated underground well and an exposed technology line during early site work; both were addressed, staff said.
