City and school officials are reviewing new design studies for a new Casimir Pulaski Elementary School and a renovated Thomas Hooker Elementary School, which would cost the city an estimated $23.27 million after state reimbursements. The district now has three projects under consideration as part of its long-term facilities plan: building a new Pulaski School at 1 King Place, renovating the existing Thomas Hooker building and repurposing the current Pulaski site. If the city and state approve the plans, the district can move forward with detailed design work. If the project remains on schedule, construction is projected to be completed by fall 2031. The total cost for a new Pulaski Elementary School is estimated at $129.27 million, with the state expected to reimburse $116.8 million. The city would fund $16.06 million, which would cover the demolition of the old Meriden-Wallingford Hospital.
