Message from the Superintendent | |
Dear Beachwood Families,
Yesterday, the Beachwood community resoundingly approved moving forward with the District's plan to replace Bryden and Hilltop schools and to do renovations upgrading Fairmount. You have entrusted us with a large sum of money, and I assure you we will use it wisely and deliver on your expectation that this critical project is completed on time and on budget. With significant input from parents, community members, and our school staff in the coming months, we will design and construct high-quality, inspiring, and secure elementary buildings. We will build schools that are both beautiful and functional. They will serve our community's youngest learners well for at least another half century. New elementary schools will play an important role in continuing to attract young families to Beachwood Schools. In addition, the District will dedicate a great deal of time, attention, and resources to features of the buildings and grounds that serve our whole community. This investment in our entire community's future is exciting, and I'm looking forward to getting started!
Best wishes,
|  | |
Dr. Robert P. Hardis
Superintendent

Beachwood Community Supports Elementary Facilities Project
Preliminary results show that voters in the Beachwood City School District approved a 3.95-mill bond issue to fund a $65 million construction project to build two new elementary schools, replacing the Bryden and Hilltop schools, and update the Fairmount Early Childhood Center. The Board of Education is planning a series of input sessions over the coming months with residents, staff, and city officials. “Community engagement will be essential to the design of facilities and grounds that serve the entire Beachwood community,” said Board of Education President Megan Walsh. “The Board will work diligently to ensure fiscal responsibility throughout the design and construction of these capital assets and oversee that the project is delivered on time and on budget.” Read the Full Article.
