Middletown voters narrowly approved a $190 million school bond Tuesday to build new facilities for grades 6-12 on the Gaudet School property.
The unofficial results show the referendum passing by only 120 votes. 51.5% to 48.5%.
The construction and groundbreaking is set to start in Spring 2025, with the ribbon cutting in Fall 2027.
The bond will fund two schools with separate, distinct entrances creating a new combined middle-high school.
The project:
- Serves about 1,100 students, grades 6-12
- Features about 200,000 square feet of educational space, including state-of-the-art flexible classrooms
- No displacement of any classrooms as single-phase construction, with no interruptions to learning
- Allows for room for future expansion
- Built for the schools of today and the next 50 years plus
