PROJECT 1  LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL $26.9 million

Lincoln Elementary, built in 1956, was the second oldest school in the District, and had outgrown the facility, housing overflow students in 10 portable classrooms.

Washington elementary, built in 1953, was the oldest school in the district and had outgrown the facility, housing overflow students in portables. State School Construction Assistance is estimated at $5 million.

• The single corridor design prohibited remodeling construction while school was in session due to noise and construction danger.
• A new school has been built on the same site in a new location and the old school was demolished when the new one was completed.  This prevented having to move students somewhere else during the school year.
• As part of the new school, the entire student drop off and pickup area has been renovated and reconfigured on the existing site to increase student safety. State matching funds are estimated at $5 million.
