New Location for Coffinberry and BOE
When Coffinberry
Early Education Center reopened its doors after the winter break, it opened at
a new location with a shorter name.
Now, the Early Education Center,
which serves special education DAP, preschool and day care students, is located at 21620 Mastick Road.
The new address was the FPCS District's former Parkview
Intermediate School, which served fourth through sixth grade students. These grades have been incorporated into the district's new Gilles-Sweet
Elementary School.
In addition, the FPCS Board of Education Office moved in the building
with the Early Education Center. The Board Of Education offices are on the east end of the building where the Parkview
Intermediate administration offices were located.
"I am excited about
the move," said superintendent Brion Deitsch. "It means all the facets of the
Gemini Project are coming together to benefit our students and our community. We
have first rate students and this is a first rate community. We can now be proud
to say we educate our students in first rate facilities."
To move
Coffinberry
and the BOE, was a
result of the Gemini Project. The community voted to support the Gemini Project,
a joint city-school district venture to consolidate school buildings and improve
facilities for students and the community. As a result, the FPCS community opened the
new Gilles-Sweet Elementary School this past fall, made renovations to the high
school and middle school campuses, improved athletic facilities, built a new
recreation/community center, and consolidated Coffinberry
Early Education Center and the BOE.
Former BOE and Coffinberry buildings may be sold in the spring/summer of 2008. Proceeds will go to capital
improvements and maintenance of the new district facilities. Overall, finacial pressure
will be alleviated from the general fund and buildings will be kept up
accordingly.
