Craughwell Elementary, a cornerstone of educational excellence within the Troy 30-C School District, is pleased to announce plans for a modular classroom addition in response to significant enrollment increases. Over recent years, Craughwell has experienced growth across general education, special education, and its kindergarten through 4th grade bilingual program, reflecting a diverse and expanding student body.

Projections indicate continued enrollment growth, necessitating additional space to maintain optimal class sizes and support the educational needs of all students. Recognizing the importance of maintaining lower class sizes, which research shows benefit students, particularly those from low-income families, the Board of Education has prioritized this initiative.

One of the main goals in planning this project was to make it feel like a cohesive extension of the school. The modular classroom addition project includes the construction of eight classrooms, student and staff restroom facilities, and a dedicated staff work area. Situated discreetly at the rear of the school, away from Black Road, the addition will seamlessly integrate with existing facilities while enhancing safety and security measures.

Troy 30-C leaders emphasized the importance of the modular addition at Craughwell Elementary as both a short-term solution and part of the district’s long-term vision.

"We are committed to ensuring that all students at Craughwell Elementary have the resources and space needed for a quality education," said Dr. Paul Schrik, Superintendent of Troy 30-C.

 "This modular addition not only addresses our immediate needs but aligns with our district's strategic goals of effective facility management and financial sustainability,” said Ben Hettel, Executive Director of Operations at Troy 30-C. 

Scheduled for completion before the start of the upcoming school year in August, the modular unit will operate fully interconnected with the main school building, ensuring a cohesive learning environment without the need for students or staff to go outside to access the modular classroom addition.

It’s important to note that this modular classroom addition is intended as a temporary solution to address the school’s immediate space needs. Compared to the significant cost of constructing a permanent addition, this project provides much-needed relief at a fraction of the expense, allowing the district to maintain lower class sizes while being fiscally responsible.

This project directly supports one of the key priorities in the Troy 30-C Strategic Plan: Effective Use of Facilities and Financial Sustainability. As part of this ongoing work, Troy 30-C recently completed a series of Facilities Visioning Committee meetings that brought together a wide range of stakeholders—including parents, staff, community members, and district leaders—to begin shaping the future of our school facilities.

More conversations and planning efforts will take place in the months ahead as the district explores long-term solutions to meet the challenges of growing enrollment, not only at Craughwell Elementary but across all Troy 30-C schools.
