In addition to the building’s facilities being outdated and classrooms lacking the proper square footage, much of the building is not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible due to lack of ramps, lifts, and elevators. • We have already conducted a priced concept drawing of a new school, to see if it was possible to modernize with the current $17M budget.
