From Burlington School Commissioners' Corner: 

Board Chair Clare Wool discusses the IAA renovation project updates with Tom Yandow, who is a Project Manager with Capital Project Consulting Inc.

On February 20th, 2025, Superintendent Flanagan presented an IAA renovation project update and recommended the board approve the use of resources available from our 2017 10-Year Capital Plan funding to complete this project. The board unanimously agreed, combining those funds with $10m ESSER funds which we had already planned use on HVAC upgrades in the building.

Work began in the Spring of 2024, with all students moving out of IAA over the summer. The project is on budget and on schedule to be completed in the Spring of 2025, with students and staff returning to the building in the fall of 2025!

Project timeline:

  • March 2024: Geothermal work begins
  • Spring 2024: Roof work begins
  • August 2024: Students begin learning in alternative spaces
  • Spring/Summer 2025: Renovations Complete
  • August 2025: Students move in!
