The Campbell County School District is officially moving forward with a construction project bringing a new elementary school to those living in the Alexandria community.
The district’s Board of Education recently voted to award the bid for the construction of a new building for Grant’s Lick Elementary School. In a press release, the district says the decision comes after a comprehensive planning process and extensive work to get all permits and approvals from the necessary entities.
“The Board of Education is overjoyed to announce the commencement of the Grant’s Lick Elementary School project,” said Kimber Fender, Board Chair. “We are now fully prepared to move forward with this highly anticipated and crucially needed facility for our students.”
The new educational facility is designed to be more than just a building; it is envisioned as a vibrant learning community that reflects the district’s dedication to fostering innovative and student-centered learning environments.
“The new Grant’s Lick Elementary School is a cornerstone in our mission to create spaces that not only enhance learning but also prepare our students for a bright future,” said Dr. Shelli Wilson, Superintendent of Campbell County Schools. “This project aligns perfectly with our district’s focus on innovative pathways, stakeholder engagement, and promoting college and career readiness.”
The groundbreaking for the new Grant’s Lick Elementary is scheduled for early 2024, with the project estimated to reach completion in June 2025. More details coming in 2024.
