Our school buildings are critical community assets that are supported by your tax dollars. Effective facility management and planning are key Board of Education responsibilities.
We regularly monitor and update our buildings to support learning.
Routine updates (high-traffic carpet replacement, HVAC updates, etc.) are scheduled through the town’s capital improvement budget.
Major renovations, like Naubuc’s second-floor renovation completed last year, can generally be expected to occur about every 20-30 years in the life of a school building.
Nationwide, schools average 49 years old.*
6 of our schools were built in less than 2 decades between 1949 and 1967.
The 1996 “Strive for Five” renovation of elementary schools was nearly 30 years ago.
Naubuc, Gideon, and GHS are the only schools that have been renovated in the last quarter century.
Naubuc School is nearing its 100th birthday.
