Boscobel School Upgrade

Boscobel’s main school facility will be expanding. Voters in the Boscobel Area School District approved a $21.5 million facilities referendum in 2023, which will add a new 1,200-seat gym and nearly a dozen classrooms to the existing middle-high school on Brindley Street. The project will close the city’s iconic Rock School, a historic building that was built in 1898, as a school facility. It will also close the annex building next door. Pre-K through third grade students will be placed in the elementary school across the street, while fourth and fifth grade students will be moved up to the new addition at the middle-high school. Boscobel administrators said the referendum is the first phase of a long-range plan is to eventually move all of the students and staff to one site. That was attempted in a previous referendum that failed in 2017.
