The Jackson Heights USD 335 Board of Education on Monday evening continued to discuss a plan to build a new classroom addition that would link the district’s ele­mentary and high school buildings, but tabled action on setting that plan into motion after some board mem­bers expressed concerns that a pro­posed $5 million bond issue for that construction may not get the approval of district voters. Draft plans for the addition, as board members noted in August, would cover about 17,000 square feet and include a common “li­brary” space, new classrooms allowing fifth and sixth-grade classes to move out of the existing elementary building — allowing kindergarten through fourth grades to have three classrooms per grade — and new art and mu­sic spaces, as well as a possible remodel of elementary classroom space for a new office near the building’s main entrance.
