- Learning environments in alignment with strategic plan
- Equality - All grade 3-5 students go to Frenchtown
- Site may allow construction of new school while existing school is in use
- Minimizes disruption of operations and educational offerings
- Once complete students would move to new school to allow major renovations at another school
- Cost
- Eligible for THREE bonuses and may allow the district to pursue a fourth (+15-17% additional reimbursement)
