School Board To Vote on Contracts for New Lothian Elementary Project

The Anne Arundel County Board of Education will discuss and vote on eight contracts for work on the Lothian Elementary School replacement project at its meeting on Wednesday.

The contracts range from services such as demolition of the existing building to window, roof and paint work at the new school—expected to open in August 2015, according to a release. The $32.7 million facility will be nearly 16,000 square feet larger and accommodate more than 550 students.

Earlier this week, Lothian Elementary invited students, administration, staff and families past and present to get a ‘Last Look’ at the 57-year-old school on June 17. The school will be demolished this summer.

County Executive Laura Neuman has included $8.6 million in her Fiscal Year 2014 capital budget proposal to be put toward the Lothian project. That proposal is now before the County Council. 

Students of Lothian Elementary School will spend the next two years sharing space at Southern Middle School.

The June 17 farewell event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. and is open to the public.
