Hawthorne Elementary
School to host MAPS for Kids community meeting
(July 31,
2009) - Hawthorne Elementary School will host the second of four MAPS for
Kids community meetings at 6 p.m. on Monday, August 10th.
The Schematic Design Review meeting will take place in the school’s
auditorium, 2300 NW 15th Street.
During the
meeting, parents, teachers, students, neighbors, community members and
school administrators can provide input and share their ideas for the
school’s upcoming renovations.
The school,
which was established in 1911, will receive over $4.1 million in facility
improvements from MAPS for Kids funds. The school will be designed to
accommodate 520 pre-kindergarten through sixth grade students.
Two other
community meetings will be held for Hawthorne Elementary School, which will
cover:
Meeting 3 -
preliminary design presentations
Meeting 4 – final design presentation
Funding for
the nearly $700 million MAPS for Kids program comes from two voter-approved
sources: a seven-year penny sales tax which ended on Dec. 31, 2008 and an
Oklahoma City Public Schools bond issue.
Once completed, every student in the Oklahoma City Public Schools district
will attend a new or fully renovated school.
Those needing
a sign language interpreter, language interpreter or disability assistance
can call 297-2578 at least 48 hours before
the meeting.
The meeting is
being coordinated by Mass Architects, Inc. and the Oklahoma City
Metropolitan Area Public Schools (OCMAPS) Trust Project Office. For more
