Exactly one year after the coronavirus pandemic rained on Plymouth-Canton Schools' successful $275 million bond passage parade, a huge step was made toward spending some of those bond dollars.
In its first in-person meeting in several weeks, the Plymouth Canton Board of Education voted 6-0 to approve bid package EL-1, the highlights of which are a four-classroom addition to Dodson Elementary School and the construction of secure entrances and new main offices to Field, Hulsing and Eriksson elementary schools.
Field, Hulsing and Eriksson — affectionately nicknamed "the triplets" by architects and builders because of their identical layouts — will also have space added that will allow their students to enjoy separate gymnasiums and cafeterias, which are currently shared by one room.
