Whole Group

A Groundbreaking Ceremony was held Friday, January 25, 2019, for the commencement of the Loganville-Springfield E.S. building project.  Our Board of School Directors, architects, engineers, construction and project managers, administration, staff, students and community members participated in this exciting milestone. Construction is expected to begin in February 2019 with an anticipated completion in December 2020.

At its regularly scheduled Board of School Directors meeting on Thursday, January 17, 2019, the Board awarded four (4) construction contracts for the renovation and additions to Loganville-Springfield Elementary School in the amount of $19.2 million.  The cost of the additions and renovations are contained in current debt structure, with no impact on annual debt service.

Our mission is to update and enhance the school, thereby creating an anchor school on this side of the district comparative in student enrollment, program offerings, square footage and amenities to the York Township and Ore Valley elementary schools. The additions and renovations will increase the size of the school from 56,665 square feet to nearly 91,000 square feet, containing additional classrooms, enhanced library-media center spaces, a new cafeteria and gymnasium, and small group instruction rooms. This expansion will house up to 550 students with a current enrollment of nearly 470 students.

Opened in 1953, the elementary school received an addition in 1972 and some mechanical component upgrades in 2005. A Facility Study Committee comprised of teachers, parents, community members, school administration, and Board members assessed the needs of the school during a thirteen-month period beginning September 2015 and, in November 2016, produced a Final Report providing recommendations for the Board’s consideration. The Board then selected RLPS Architects of Lancaster who provided schematics and an Act 34 Hearing was held June 11, 2018.
