What is Next with the New School Site?

There is a lot that needs to happen in the next four months to open on August 8. In the months ahead site plans need to be finalized, money secured, and phase one of the building process begun.


In the current month of April, site plans will be finalized after many more meetings with the town. A bank will be chosen to finance the $500,000 of the purchase price not financed by donations, of which we were blessed to receive $326,000 in less than three months. Discussions on the details of restroom placement, playgrounds, cafeteria and office design, and gymnasium use will continue. Financing of the phase one buildings will progress as the board looks at additional bank financing as well as private financing.

May should see the beginnings of an infrastructure being installed. Sewer pipes to replace the septic system, the pipes to support the fire sprinkler system as well as additional water pipes will be added.

After that, additional buildings and support structures, like the playground, will begin depending on the success of the board finding additional funding sources.

More details will follow, along with notices seeking feedback from the Bios community on the site plans as progress is made on the drawings.
