Margaret K. Lewis School to relocate to St. Andrews School at Oakland Terrace site
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Bay District Schools is updating the Margaret K. Lewis School. It is a special education school with 200 students. As part of the new design, the school must have exits that prevent runners, covered student pick-up areas, and storage alcoves in hallways. Every classroom needs a handicap accessible bathroom. The school said they also need skill labs, an agricultural green space, and they'd like to add a covered, exterior dining option. The costs are adding up. However, Bay District Schools Superintendent Mark McQueen said they want to meet their students' needs. 'There are items that you absolutely have to have that meet ADA compliance requirements, for example. And we also need to make life safety considerations in there and then personal safety of the students. And we had some examples of how you have students that need to go out a door that's designed for a fire exit,' McQueen added. Designs for the Margaret K. Lewis School will be completed in the next 12 months. The school will be relocated to the St. Andrews school at Oakland Terrace. They will tear down the old facility and then begin construction. Construction will begin by next summer. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
