The Planning Commission has approved the new Homestead/Wakefield Elementary School with certain conditions. One of the conditions is a 50-foot-wide public road right of way circulating around the school that would connect East MacPhail Road and West MacPhail Road. The road itself does not need to be built prior to the opening of the new Homestead/Wakefield Elementary School.
The new building will be a 2-story elementary school with over 100,000 square feet of space. Bel Air Middle School and the proposed Homestead/Wakefield Elementary School will have a combined rated capacity of 2,343 students, not including visitors, teachers, and staff. No other campus of this capacity is served by one entrance with a traffic signal and one local street.
