Can Chenery be converted to a fifth elementary school and have all elementary schools be a K-6 grade configuration?

The school department has researched this option and has determined that it is not viable. The Chenery building would have a disproportionally large number of students, while smaller schools, like Burbank and Butler, would have only two classes per grade. Neither of these scenarios support Belmont’s educational vision. In addition, there is no vehicle in place to fund the renovations necessary to make Chenery an elementary school and to alter the four elementary schools so they could accommodate older students.
