Danbury looking to add classrooms to Great Plain Elementary

The Danbury Public School District continues to have growing enrollment.  Superintendent Kevin Walston recently told the Board of Education's Sites and Facilities Committee that the City is looking into adding classrooms to Great Plain Elementary School.  He says in terms of options and providing additional space for elementary classrooms across the district, it's a good conversation to have.  This comes as the City is looking to build a Career Academy for middle and high school students to alleviate overcrowding at those grade levels.  An annex at Ellsworth Avenue Elementary School is also nearing completion.  Walston notes that Ellsworth is possibly the fastest growing elementary school in the district, and will soon have four new kindergarten classrooms, three or four preschool classrooms, and a new registration center.  A project to expand Great Plain was shelved years ago in favor of those two projects.  Walston says they'll get some more specifics from the City's Public Works Director and Engineer at the subcommittee's next meeting.
