But according to the plan students may have to relocate again--to a larger, rented facility--if district officials find next fall that there is not enough space to fit the students from both schools into one building.
"Our concern was having enough classrooms, because we have special status and small classes," D'Alessandro said. "If we get to this facility and find we can't do what we want to, we want the option of moving."
Students will have to move twice--into a temporary facility and then into the permanent building.
But after parents and school committee members expressed concern about having students move a third time, D'Alessandro said she would be willing to strike the possibility of a third move, but said the temporary facility might be crowded.
On other points, the proposal D'Alessandro submitted was significantly more specific than the draft recommendations she presented last month.
The plan calls for 21 teachers for kindergarten through eighth grade, plus art, music, physical education and foreign language instructors and eight special education teachers.
Under D'Alessandro's proposal, the school would use curriculum developed by Core Knowledge, a national organization that would tailor its program to specific state standards.
