Cub Run Elementary School Construction Update

In October, 2006, the Rockingham County School Board voted to approve the construction of an elementary school on the Montevideo Middle School site, and to request funding for up to $16.2 million from the Board of Supervisors.  In Feburary, 2007 the Board voted to approve a resolution which authorizes an $11.1 million loan application to the VPSA for the school.  Later that month, the Board accepted the low bid from Nielson Builders, Inc. for the construction of the school.  Construction began in March, 2007. The school is expected to open in August, 2008. 

Moseley Architects designed the school based on a prototype that was used at Mountain View and Peak View Elementary Schools.  Click here to access Moseley's website which contains additional construction photos of the school. Mosley has also provided a floor plan for the building which can be viewed by clicking here.  The building will include modern instructional technology such as ceiling mounted projectors  and interactive whiteboards in all classrooms. 

At the January 8, 2008 School Board meeting, Kenny Boyers was appointed as the first principal of Cub Run Elementary.
