A new high school and a new middle school are both on Flagler Schools’ 10-year infrastructure plan, according to district documents presented to the School Board at a Dec. 10 workshop.
The design phase for the new schools is scheduled to begin in 2029 with the construction projects continuing into the 2033-34 school year.
The high school would have 2,400 to 2,600 student stations with a projected cost of $230 million. The middle school would have 1,800 to 2,000 student stations with a projected cost of $175 million.
Suprintendent LaShakia Moore said because sixth grades were moved into middle schools two years ago, the district does not anticipate the need to build a new elementary school over the next 10 years.
“We’re able to educate all students in the permanent as well as the temporary structures that we have,” Moore said. “We can have more students because we have done it when we had sixth grade on campuses. It’s tight at some schools but not tight enough where we have to build an elementary school.”
Dave Freeman, the district’s chief of operations, told the Observer that the district does not currently have a piece of property for a new high school but it does have ideas for a new middle school site.
