Construction progresses at Danbury schools

While schools are not in session in Danbury, the buildings certainly aren't empty.  Instead of students, there are construction crews.  Mayor Mark Boughton says that's because the City has rolled out an expansion at the elementary schools to offer all day kindergarten.  He says the program will benefit all residents because home values will increase.

 

Boughton says that requires some renovation and addition work at Park Avenue, Shelter Rock and Stadley Rough elementary schools. 

 

At Park Avenue, a two-story addition will have 12 new classrooms, a storage room and a media center.  Stadley Rough is gaining 4 new classrooms, new bathrooms and other infrastructure work.  Shelter Rock is adding 5 new classrooms.

 

Work is also being done at Mill Ridge Intermediate School, which is being turned into a middle school.  That building will house the city's STEM program and a School of International Studies and is expected to open for the 2014-2015 school year.
