The Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to approve revised plans for the four new elementary schools in the city’s $385 million school construction project. If state school construction officials approve the final plans for the first two schools, the John B. Stanton and Greeneville elementary schools, the city can put those two school projects out to bid in early January and start construction in March, project officials told the school board Tuesday. Construction on the other two new schools, the John Moriarty and Uncas schools, could start in 2026. Preliminary cost estimates have the new Greeneville Scbool at $79.4 million, $539,359 more than the funding amount provided to the state Department of Administrative Services in the city’s earlier funding authorization, School Building Committee Chairman Mark Bettencourt said Thursday. The new Stanton School is estimated at $67.5 million, nearly $1.4 million lower than the previous estimate.
