J-M board approves design for new middle/high school

NORTH JACKSON — The Jackson-Milton Board of Education has approved the latest schematic draft of a new middle school/high school that is to be built in the district.

At a special meeting earlier this week, board members accepted a linear, T-shaped design for the one-story school that will go up just east of Jackson-Milton Elementary School, 14110 Mahoning Ave.

The design still needs approval by the Ohio School Facilities Commission, Superintendent Buckok Palmer said. The 81,000-square-foot facility, which will house pupils in grades six to 12, will feature classrooms for middle school pupils on one side and rooms for high school students on the other, Palmer noted.
