Local residents have a couple chances to learn about Knox Community Schools’ proposed building project this month. Public input sessions will be held on Tuesday, April 9 and Monday, April 22.
Both meetings will start at 6:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room in the Knox Elementary School Palmer Wing. Those attending are asked to use Door 9.
Current plans call for the demolition of the Palmer Wing, and the construction of a new addition extending south from the newer portion of the elementary school. The high school would get a couple additions on its north side to house vocational programs and a multipurpose room. Meanwhile, the corporation office and Redskin Academy would move to the middle school.
The proposal also calls for the reconfiguration of the school corporation’s parking lots, to improve traffic flow and safety. Redskin Trail could be closed. All three schools would get secure entries.
