Tiffin City Schools will hold several town hall meetings to inform the public of the district’s facility primary plan, and to receive feedback. 

 

The plan comprises building a new K-5 elementary school at the Tiffin Middle School site on 103 Shepherd Drive. This would eliminate parents having to drop their children off at a different building. Currently, K-1 is at Washington Elementary, 2-3 at Krout, and 3-4 at Noble. By relocating the new elementary school, spaces for parking, exits and green space for students will be added. The estimate cost is $42,823,512. 

 

A new 9-12 high school will be built next to the current school on 300 S. Monroe St. The building will add new academic spaces and technology connections. Select demolition will be done to the existing school. There are also renovation plans for the auditorium, and the creation of an indoor field house, a weight room, and an athletic training space. Included would be an expanded space for Tornado Academy with an academic space, maker space, computer lab, Esports, Pay It Forward shop, alumni room and student-led cafe. The estimate cost is $45,932,354. 

 

Lastly, Tiffin Middle School would receive renovations to increase the school’s longevity. That project cost is $114,513,096. The state would pay for 70% of the local share, but not including the additional building costs to accommodate future increased enrollment and elective LFIs.
