An application for construction of a downtown elementary school in Lewiston will be submitted to the state Department of Education and Cultural Services, even though it may not receive a high priority from the state.

Lewiston Superintendant of Schools Robert V. Connors said Thursday that he plans to submit the application to the state “in the near future.”

Connors said the School Committee has been considering construction of a new school ever since the Jordan School was closed, at which time its students were redistributed to other city elementary schools.
