Goals for Renovation

  • Remove portable and modular classrooms (9 classrooms)
    • Why? Portables are meant to be temporary. The portables have exceeded their life expectancy, are inefficient, and pose safety concerns.
  • Improve safety and security of entire school
    • Why? The Department of Homeland Security performed a site assessment and identified many areas of concern; some can only be addressed with a renovation.
  • Increase primary education, special education and group learning space
    • Why?  This will allow for growth in enrollment and more flexible educational spaces to support optimal instructional practices.
  • Improve the function of key common areas, including the nurse’s office, administrative and meeting area, and restrooms
    • Why?   The nurse’s office does not currently meet minimum health standards. Restrooms are insufficient for students and staff.

School Improvement Committee

  • Committee is made up of community members, town government, school board, and school staff.
  • Committee has reviewed architecture plans, toured the building, discussed options, and made recommendations to the school board for 2018 warrant article.
  • Meeting minutes can be found on the Auburn School Board Committee page.
