CHESHIRE â The School Modernization Committee recently presented its proposal for Phase 1 of an expansive infrastructure plan to the Town Council and the Board of Education.Â
The committee presented two potential scenarios â one which involves the construction of two new elementary schools on opposite sides of town, while the other calls for the demolition of Chapman Elementary School, construction of a brand-new school on the property, and construction of a middle school for grades 6 to 8.
Option 6 â the one favored by the SMC â calls for the construction of a new K-through-6th-grade school on the north end of town that would cost between $51.5 and $62.5 million, and a second school at the south end that would cost between $55.6 and $66.8 million. The exact locations of the two schools has yet to be determined.
