Demolition, site work, renovation and addition to an educational facility in Newburg, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; for the renovation of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

There is a need for permanent space to support pre-kindergarten and full-day kindergarten programs at Dr. Thomas L. Higdon Elementary School in Newburg. Opened in 1951, this school had a classroom addition in 1965, and was renovated in 1988. The school currently has one kindergarten classroom and one pre-kindergarten classroom. Higdon currently houses three kindergarten classes and one pre-kindergarten class. An addition is proposed that would contain two kindergarten classrooms and an activity area. Charles County Public Schools now uses an inclusion model for providing services to prekindergarten and kindergarten-aged, special education students. This requires one classroom at both the kindergarten and pre-kindergarten levels be increased in size to house an additional seven students, a special education teacher and an aide.
