Southington elementary school expansions and roof improvements to head to referendum

The expansion of Kelley and South End elementary schools, along with roof replacements for three other elementary schools are on the horizon once they pass referendum. This project would build a new, slightly larger Kelley with four sections per grade, and includes a capacity of around 450 students. It would also build out the lower level of South End to have additional classrooms. Madancy said these changes will allow the district to redistrict and close one of the elementary schools. Though closing Flanders was considered during the special BOE meeting Madancy said further studies will be done before a decision is made on which school will be closed. This approved phase would cost $73.9 million with an estimated district share of $47.8 million. The Kelley portion of this phase would be $66.4 million with an estimated district share of $43.7 million and South End’s buildout would be $7.5 million with an estimated district share of $4.1 million.
