Greenwood Independent School District is set to commence construction on a new $58 million intermediate school in January, as per a filing with a state regulatory agency.
According to the December 4 filing, under the leadership of Superintendent Ariel Elliott, the district plans for the 143,521 square foot intermediate school to be located adjacent to both an elementary school and another intermediate school. The filing states that construction will begin on January 15, 2025, with completion anticipated by October 31, 2026. The local design firm Parkhill has collaborated with the district on the architectural planning for these schools.
In November 2023, voters approved a $198.7 million bond proposal. This proposal includes constructing a new elementary school for kindergarten through second grade and a new intermediate school for third through fifth grades. These schools will be situated at the intersection of County Road 1100 and County Road 120. Additionally, it involves converting the south wing of Brooks Middle School from an intermediate school into a middle school.
The Midland Times previously reported that the combined cost for these three projects is projected to be $130 million.
