Windsor Locks facilities task force keeps three of five building scenarios

WINDSOR LOCKS - Windsor Locks' long-range school facilities planning task force voted Oct. 21 to keep three of five building scenarios under study, according to meeting minutes posted on the school district's facilities planning page.

Members backed further study of Scenario 5 by 20-0, Scenario 4 by 19-1 and Scenario 1 by 18-2, the minutes show. Scenario 2 failed 0-19 with one abstention, and Scenario 3 failed 4-16. The minutes do not say what each scenario includes; they refer to an attachment that is not posted on the page.

Facilities Director Greg Weigert called Scenario 5 the most cost-effective option under consideration, according to the minutes. Superintendent Shawn Parkhurst agreed to look into whether Scenario 1 is feasible.

Subcommittees studying Scenarios 4 and 5 meet Nov. 4. The minutes say the task force will explore holding a public information session before it presents findings to the Board of Education; no date has been set.
