Stoneham School Building Committee Reviews Middle School Plans
Proposed plans for the Stoneham Middle School project at the Central Elementary School site were presented at the committee's session Tuesday night.
The Stoneham School Building Committee reviewed a preliminary set of plans for a new Stoneham Middle School to be built at the current Central Elementary School site during its meeting Monday night. The Boston-based planning and architecture firm Tappé Associates presented conceptual plans for a fifth grade through eighth grade middle school that will replace the current elementary school. The plan to use the Central School was selected by the School Building Committee last month, over an alternate proposal to build the school at the Stoneham High School site.

The Stoneham School Building Committee’s decision to propose building the new Stoneham Middle School at the site of the current Central Elementary School site drew several voices of opposition from local parents at the committee's meeting Thursday night at Stoneham High School.
