Outgoing Superintendent John Quick gave his last advice to the Bartholomew Consolidated School board last night, with a presentation of the schools’ master facilities plan that recommended a new elementary school on the westside of Columbus.
Quick reminded the board that the school district owns about 22 acres on West State Road 46.
From the information presented last night, Southside Elementary school already has more than 1,000 students and the only school with any capacity left is Taylorsville. Quick said the crowding would get worse, should the state and school district continue to work toward pre-kindergarten for all eligible children.
