About the Project
There are two buildings on the Van Asselt School site. A landmarked historic schoolhouse and a school constructed in 1950 that is currently used as an interim site for elementary schools.
The district will construct a new 30-classroom and gymnasium addition and modernize the historic landmark schoolhouse on the Van Asselt site. This addition, combined with the existing school building will increase the capacity to create a flexible interim site large enough to temporarily house a middle school or two elementary schools.
