PARIS – Plans for the proposed $12 million Paris Elementary School will go before the Paris Planning Board tonight.
A meeting scheduled for Tuesday was canceled due to weather, according to board member Russ Case. He said the meeting was immediately rescheduled in order to move the project along.
Case said this is the first time plans for the school, which is to be built between Hathaway Road and Meadow Lane off High Street, will go before the Planning Board. He added that SAD 17 officials have put together an exhaustive packet of information, and the plans could receive final approval tonight.
“They have crossed all their t’s and dotted every i they could find,” he said.
Superintendent Mark Eastman has said the school could be open by late 2006. Once built, it will house 450 students in kindergarten through grade six. It will replace the present Mildred Fox Elementary School in Paris and the Madison Avenue School in Oxford.
Voters last September approved spending $600,000 as the local share of costs for the school. The state is expected to pay $11.6 million.
