CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 London Independent School District celebrated a milestone today with the ribbon cutting of their new primary school, designed specifically for pre-K and kindergarten students.<\/p>\n
The nearly $14 million project was approved by district residents in a 2022 bond election, with construction beginning last year.<\/p>\n
Some of the young students who will attend the new school had the opportunity to tour the facility today, ahead of classes starting on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“This is probably one of the biggest kid friendly spaces you can walk into. I think for a 4 and 5 year old to walk in and see that this building is built for them. All the pieces, all the touches are really geared toward a primary student and so I think there’s no way that cannot positively impact their learning environment and to help it be a great place to learn,” Dr. Bill Chapman, Superintendent of London ISD, said.<\/p>\n
The district’s facilities planning committee will meet in the fall to discuss their next project, which could be a middle and elementary school.<\/p>\n
