New pre-K classrooms being built at Littleton Elementary

What happened

The district is building a pre-kindergarten classroom addition at Littleton Elementary School, called Phase 2, with a budget adjusted during the year from $3,796,714 to $5,888,000 and funded through a capital reserve transfer. Construction ran through summer 2026. The building has been operating on a temporary certificate of occupancy that had to be extended, because the district is waiting for the township to file a federal application for an antenna the township is requiring the board to install.

Why it matters to families

New pre-K rooms at a single elementary school decide where the district's youngest children are taught and how much space the rest of Littleton has. The antenna hold-up matters too: a temporary certificate of occupancy is a conditional permission to use a building, and the district says the delay sits with the township rather than with the school.

The evidence

The August 20, 2026 approved minutes list construction on the Littleton expansion project among the summer's work and record the board's action on the New Pre-K Classroom Addition (Phase 02) at Littleton Elementary School, with a budget line adjusted from $3,796,714 by $2,091,286 to $5,888,000 drawn on capital reserve. The February 12, 2026 minutes record the extended temporary certificate of occupancy and the outstanding township FCC application for the antenna.
