The District, the Owner’s Project Manager, and Design team presented an overview of work recently conducted to assess how relocating the 6th grade into the Penn Brook Elementary School supports the District in its efforts to address concerns at the existing Middle/High School. The District also discussed how it intends to address issues associated with the spaces in the Middle/High School, how the revised layout of the Penn Brook Elementary School better supports its educational program, and reasons for the proposed siting of the facility. The Facilities Assessment Subcommittee inquired about the flexibility of the revised layout, educational adjacencies, the number of classrooms, and the proposed location on the site. The MSBA is currently working with the District to determine an agreed upon solution to forward to the MSBA Board of Directors as a conditional recommendation at the June 6, 2012 Board of Directors meeting.
