Preliminary Plans For Parkway and Elm Street Schools
Preliminary plans for additions at Parkway and Elm Street schools were reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners and the Board of Education. Officials expect little chance these projects fit this year’s construction budget due to prior commitments totaling about two million dollars. Elm Street would gain a cafeteria and dressing-room changes, while Parkway would add a cafeteria, a new heating plant and toilets, totaling roughly 400,000 dollars. A two room addition at Myersville was also discussed for future construction. A joint meeting of commissioners and the full Board of Education is planned for April to decide next steps. Bonds to cover ongoing construction including Frederick and Thurmont high schools shop buildings, the new Yellow Springs elementary school, the Middletown high expansion, and part of the proposed Frederick junior high cost are expected to be issued soon.
