Selection of Site

School sites should be located as near as is practical to the center of the attendance area the schools are expected to serve. It is also desirable for school sites to be located in such a way as to facilitate joint use of the sites and adjacent parks, playgrounds and open space by both the school and the town recreation agency.

In recommending sites for school facilities, the following factors should be considered:

Size

Location

Drainage and soil conditions

Topography and elevation

Accessibility

Cost

This should be done in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes
