Some Newtown students to attend other schools during HVAC project work

The Newtown Board of Education is looking into plans to accommodate students while the 100-year-old Hawley Elementary School is closed for an HVAC project.  300 students would attend classes in two other schools next academic year.  Kindergarten and first graders would attend Sandy Hook Elementary, while 2nd through 4th graders would go to Reed Intermediate School.  Reed normally hosts 5th and 6th graders.  Residents in November approved an upgrade to Hawley's ventilation, air-conditioning and electrical system.  Construction will begin at the end of this school year and is expected to be complete by April 2023.
