When hauling off to work today, don’t forget, 1st day of school in Nazareth. Expect delays and give walkers a break by letting them fully cross the intersection before driving through. And don’t forget new bell schedules now have morning bells ranging from 7:25 to 8:30 a.m. (assume 30 minutes prior to first bell for buses to be on the roads) and ending from 2:10 to 3:30 p.m. (again assume buses on road till 4:00).
The Morning Call has an article on new school buildings, which has quite a bit on the new Nazareth Middle School (read it here). In the article the price is quoted at $48M, some $20M shy of the actual cost as I recall from board meetings. Also, the number of anticipated students is quoted at 775, or just shy of 400 per grade. I tried to view the actual enrollment figures for this year, but the Board stopped including this data in its monthly board meeting packets. The building was originally built to accommodate 1,340 students according to documents filed with the state.
Have a great first day everyone!

I was surprised you didn't note the costs of the newly constructed elementary schools in the article, ranging from 11-20M..the option you and many felt preferable to alleviate the "increased enrollment"... Are you going soft on the district? ;)
Also I believe but not certain the article was citing the actual building costs not including the pool and all the nice to haves as you say...hence the 20M disparity
