A brand new school building about to open is a very busy place – furniture is still being put together, a few teachers are already there setting up their classrooms and the final touches of construction continue.
Former and current members of the Hamilton Southeastern School Board toured the new Southeastern Elementary School Wednesday, near Southeastern Parkway on Cyntheanne Road. The building is set to open next month when classes begin for the 2019-20 school year.
School officials had estimated that about 540 students would occupy Southeastern Elementary in its first year of operation. It is now expected that 682 youngsters will be taking classes in the new building. The capacity of Southeastern Elementary is 707 students.
