27J opens newest elementary school  “I’m confident that you will agree that this building is something the whole 27J community can be proud of. It represents the commitment of this community to its youth and to the importance of providing an environment that truly supports teaching and learning.”The audience of about 100 people also heard from 27J Board of Education President Joan Kniss, City of Thornton Ward 3 councilmember Lynne Fox and 27J Superintendent Dr. Chris Fiedler. Brantner Elementary was constructed with remaining bond money from a 2006 voter-approved bond that built two new elementary schools and two new middle schools. The school was also made possible because of a nearly $2 million contribution from developers who participate in the district’s Capital Facility Fee Foundation. The school was designed by Larson Incitti Architects and built by Saunders Construction Inc. It is 27J’s second elementary school to be built in its growing western boundary area that extends into Thornton. The 38,000-square foot facility can hold up to 400 students with one modular building that includes four additional classrooms. A second phase of the school, which would more than double the school’s capacity, will be dependent on future bond funding. _________________________________________________________________ |
