If voters approve a bond referendum this fall, Andersen Elementary could move less than a mile away. the district has signed a letter of intent to purchase a 10-acre parcel of land adjacent to Barker's Alps Park in Bayport. The district would build the new school on the parcel and partner with the city of Bayport for use of the park's fields and green space - similar to the agreement it has at its current location. The purchase is contingent on passage of the bond.
District officials are proposing to construct a new 600 student-capacity school on the site, which would replace the existing Andersen Elementary.
