Franklin Street Genesis & History (cont'd)
¢ We also knew the HVAC system was old (but still functioning) and
would need replacing at some point. Fortunately, ESSER funding
became available and HVAC is being addressed this summer (more on
this later).

¢ Brentwood Academy moved into its spaces on the third floor at the
beginning of the school year. Since the 2"? floor couldn’t be used,
only the pre-school classrooms from Broad St Elementary were
moved to Franklin Street (1% floor, with OT/PT in the basement).

¢ The plan was established to house the HS Alternative program, aka,
Brentwood Academy, on the third floor of the building. The pre-school
programs will occupy the 1% and 2"9 floors along with part of the basement
level. The Title One program was moved to Broad St Elementary, in space
vacated by the pre-school program there.

¢ Finally, NSD has been renting space for its Title One program at a local
church for many years. Moving it to a permanent location will save
the annual rental costs for that program.

¢ The Nashua School District has had an alternative high school
program for many years, first housed at the South HS, then moved to
various rented spaces such as the Boys & Girls Club, Amherst Street
(Phoenix Program), Merrimack HS (Brentwood Program) and most
recently, back to another location off of Amherst Street. Rising costs
and a desire to find a permanent location contributed to looking for a
suitable building within the city to house the program.
