WASHINGTON SCHOOL PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD

SIOUX CITY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WILL VOTE MONDAY TO APPROVE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN MORNINGSIDE.

SUPERINTENDENT DR. PAUL GAUSMAN SAYS THE 16-POINT-FIVE MILLION DOLLAR SCHOOL WILL BE BUILT USING A DESIGN THAT'S ALREADY IN USE:



THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS ALREADY PURCHASED A STRING OF HOUSES ON GLENN AVENUE THAT WOULD BE DEMOLISHED FOR THE NEW BUILDING.

CONSTRUCTION ON THE NEW WASHINGTON WOULD BEGIN AT THE END OF THE CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR WITH AN OPENING SET FOR AUGUST 2015.

CURRENT STUDENTS AT WASHINGTON WOULD ATTEND THE OLD LONGFELLOW SCHOOL FOR TWO YEARS WHILE THE NEW FACILiTY IS BEING BUILT.
