Lower Merion School District officials want to spend at
least $11 million on a middle school expansion project that would add classroom
and cafeteria space to the Bala Cynwyd Middle School.
The proposed plan includes a new 2-story wing that would
hold 12 classrooms, as well as a new 30-space parking lot, according to Main Line Media News.
Located between Manayunk Road and Bryn Mawr Avenue near
Levering Mill Road, the middle school has seen its enrollment grow over the
past several years.
A district official told Main Line Media News she expects
each grade level to mushroom to 400 kids – a number that will make the already
crowded cafeteria and lengthy lunch lines even worse.
Under the schedule, the district plans to start the
zoning application in January and simultaneously submit a request for a waiver
of the land development plan so temporary classrooms can be put in one part of
the track area by next summer to be ready for the fall of 2017.
If approvals go as planned, construction would begin in
early 2018 and last through 2019.
