Public Meeting on Sept. 15 to Focus on Charles Barrett Alterations


Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) is planning additions and minor alterations to Charles Barrett Elementary School to meet the system-wide need for additional instructional space. The project will be presented to the public at meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. in the school's auditorium, 1115 Martha Custis Dr.

When completed in August of 2011, the school will have a new pre-kindergarten classroom, four primary classrooms and an expanded cafeteria. Green building strategies such as day lighting, high-efficiency HVAC systems, flow-through planter boxes, vegetated roofs and the use of recycled material will be implemented as part of the ACPS "Greenovation" initiative.

For more information, contact Principal Seth Kennard at 703-824-6960.
