Today at the Knox County School Board retreat in Townsend, TN the Knox County School Board was presented with a New “Southwest Elementary Option.”

Over the course of three fiscal years there will be major elementary school rezoning changes, with building additions and renovations to all existing schools. Here is the year to year plan.

In Fiscal Year 2009 there will be rezoning from Cedar Bluff Elementary into West Hills Elementary, Karns Elementary into Amherst Elementary and Hardin Valley Elementary into Karns Elementary. There will be additions and renovations at Ball Camp Elementary adding 270 new seats at a cost of $6.0 million dollars. Additional additions and renovations to Bluegrass Elementary adding 225 seats at a cost of $4.0 million dollars.

In Fiscal Year 2010 there will be rezoning from Cedar Bluff Elementary to Ball Camp Elementary, Hardin Valley to Ball Camp Elementary, Farragut Primary and Farragut Intermediate to Hardin Valley Elementary, Lotts Elementary to Bluegrass Elementary. There will be additions and renovations at Farragut Primary School adding 225 seats at a cost of $5.5 million dollars. There will be additions and renovations at Farragut Intermediate School increasing 300 seats at a cost of $4.5 million dollars.

In Fiscal Year 2011 There will be additions and renovations at Lotts Elementary School removing 4 of the 5 modular buildings and increasing the school by 180 seats at a cost of $5.0 million dollars.

If Farragut Primary and Intermediate were an Elementary School at the conclusion of this plan if it is implemented, the school would be larger than the student population at Farragut High School. The total cost of this plan is $25 million dollars.

How much would a NEW school built in the Choto Road area cost?
