With gold shovels in hands and white hardhats on heads, ground was broken May 19 for Norwalk City Schools’ new $100 million PreK-8th grade building on Shady Lane Drive across from Norwalk High School. The massive event, with more than 3,000 in attendance, marks this summer’s initial site development for the two-story, two-wing structure to provide ‘campus-style’ education for the city’s 2,400 public school students beginning with the 2029-30 academic year. With NHS cheerleaders and Athletic Director Josh Schlotterer on the platform above and middle-school choir students on the left, those flinging sand were representatives from architectural firm Garman Miller of Minster, build manager C.T. Taylor Construction of Hudson; and (from center): schools’ superintendent Brad Cooley (suit jacket); treasurer Joyce Dupont; director of operations Dan Bauman; school board president Allison Crawford; board members Jeremy Norris and Kayla Burkett; and levy committee chairmen Kathy Root, Wayne Babcanec, Dennis Doughty and Phil Oglesby Jr.
