A pair of new schools that will form a K-8 campus in the Cove neighborhood will cost the city roughly $65.8 million, according to early estimates. The money will go toward building two new schools a mile apart — a K-4 facility at 83 Lockwood Ave. and a new 5-8 school at the current site of K.T. Murphy Elementary School on Horton Street — and would involve demolishing current structures at each location and also tearing down Toquam Magnet Elementary School. The total price tag for the work is $158.3 million, but the city is expected to receive state funding for approximately 60 percent of the total cost. The Board of Representatives will cast a final vote on the funding on June 5. If approved, the plan would need to be submitted to the state by the end of June in order to be considered for reimbursement.
