Published July 23, 2008 05:28 pm - Claremore Schools contract for new elementary location By REBECCA HATTAWAY
At a special meeting Tuesday, the Claremore Board of Education approved a contract with Bessie Piguet and the Piguet Family Trust to purchase 20 acres of land on EW 510 Road (King Road) for a future elementary school. Cost of the property was $400,000. The building project is part of the $42.975-million bond Claremore voters approved last fall. “This is a big milestone on the overall project for a new southside elementary,” said Superintendent Mike McClaren. “We needed a minimum of 10 acres, but this 20-acre tract will give us a great deal of flexibility.” The land is located on the north side of King Road, west of Rehoboth Baptist Church. “There are three sections of 20-acre plots and ours is the middle one,” McClaren said. When complete, the new facility for kindergarten through fifth grade will accommodate 500 to 550 students, alleviating overcrowding at the three existing elementary schools: Claremont, Roosa and Westside. It will serve patrons on the southern most side of the district and to the west. “The next 30 days will be a ‘free look’ before the total deal is finalized. A soil test and survey will be completed to determine if the site is appropriate for the building of a school,” McClaren said. “Special thanks goes to school board member Rick Mosier who helped locate the land and has been very key in making sure this all came about.”
