Default Alton Central School - Public Forum - We Need Your Input!

WHAT: Public Forum on Facility Options for Grades Pre-K through 8

WHEN: Tuesday, October 2, 2007 at 7:00 PM

WHERE: Alton Central School (ACS)

WHY: To explore the options that the ACS Buildings & Grounds Committee is considering for resolving the instructional, space and safety needs of students.


History: In 2006, the ACS Board charged the Long Range Facility Planning with the task of addressing the instructional, space and safety needs of students in Pre-K through 8 grades. There was a facility site study conducted by the New England School Development Council (NESDEC), public forums, a survey and a final report to the Alton School Board.

The Alton School Board placed on the 2007 Warrant, two articles - one proposing the purchase of three properties near the present ACS so that the school could be expanded; a second article proposed the establishment of a Capital Reserve Fund that would be used for the construction of a new school building including for the acquisition of a site. Both were defeated in the March, 2007 vote.

On a final note...

I've check with our moderator to make sure this was okay to post. I want to be clear that this is an announcement - not an advertisement, k? It's certainly open for discussion here on this thread...

Thank you!
