BRUNSWICK
A special meeting has been scheduled Monday to discuss proposed expansion and renovation of two town schools.
Representatives from the School Board’s facilities subcommittee, the Town Council and PDT Architects of Portland will be at the 4 p.m. session, to be held at Brunswick Station.
At issue is an estimated $11 million overhaul of the Robert P.T. Coffin Elementary School and a $10 million upgrade of the junior high school.
Both facilities are aging and overcrowded, largely due to last year’s closure of the Jordan Acres School.
Councilors recently appropriated $174,500 from the municipal budget to pay for design and planning of the projects, which is the second phase of the Facilities Master Plan.
