VI.A. Recommendation for Approval of Project, BG-1 Form, and Purchase of Land for the New Middle School – East End
Rationale

The project consists of building a new 1,000 student capacity middle school at 2605 Echo Trail, Louisville, KY to meet the growing populations in eastern Jefferson County.

On August 27, 2019, the Board of Education approved the assignment of JRA Architects as the architect/engineer for the New Middle School with a location to be determined.

The Kentucky Department of Education requires a BG-1 to be submitted prior to proceeding with the next phase of design for the project.

A DRAFT contract has been prepared for the purchase of 40 acres at 2605 Echo Trail in eastern Jefferson County between Long Run Creek Properties, LLC and Jefferson County School District Finance Corporation.       

Pursuant to 702 KAR 4:050 the Kentucky Department of Education has given their preliminary approval to purchase this site.

Submitted by: Amy Dennes

The project directly supports strategy 3.1.1 of Vision 2020.
