How would the timing of this project work?
In order to make space available to construct the new elementary school, Tiger Stadium would be relocated to the campus of Twinsburg High School, in the area currently occupied by the boys’ soccer practice field and the 9th grade baseball field. The boys’ soccer practice field as well as the 9th grade baseball field would be relocated to the Dodge campus, once George G. Dodge Intermediate School is removed. In the meantime, the boys’ soccer team will share the girls’ soccer practice field and the 9th grade baseball team will use the varsity baseball field.
Once Tiger Stadium is relocated, the construction of the elementary school will begin. The girls’ softball field will be relocated to the Dodge campus, once George G. Dodge Intermediate School is removed. In the meantime, the girls’ softball teams will share the field located on the front of the RB Chamberlin Middle School campus.
Once students are welcomed into the new elementary school, George G. Dodge Intermediate School would be removed, making way for the relocation of a new 9th grade baseball field, a new girls’ softball field with lights, a new soccer stadium with lights and stands, a new soccer practice field which will be used for both boys’ and girls’ soccer teams, renovation of the varsity baseball field, the construction of a new restroom/locker room/concession facility, and parking.
If the Board of Education determines that the new elementary school will house students in Preschool – Grade 6, Wilcox Primary School and Samuel Bissell Elementary School will also be removed and the land sold. Funds raised through the sale of these properties would be returned to the Permanent Improvement Fund for other capital projects.
