On Monday night, Superintendent Tamu Lucero hosted a virtual public meeting about the proposed new school — to be split between a new school building at the current location of K.T. Murphy Elementary School and a building at 83 Lockwood Ave. that used to house Rogers Magnet Elementary School. Officials have long discussed opening a new school in the under-served portion of the city south of Interstate 95, but finding a spot with enough space for a K-8 school proved challenging. The plan is to start construction on a K-4 school at the Lockwood site in the summer of 2025, with an expected opening for the 2028-29 school year. Students from Murphy and fifth-grade students would be moved to the new facility that school year. Construction on a new Murphy school would begin in the summer of 2028 at the current site, with the new building opening in 2030 as a school for students from fifth to eighth grade. At that time, the Lockwood building would eliminate its fifth grade.
