Regional School District 16 (Connecticut)
Regional School District 16 is a school district made up of the towns of Beacon Falls and Prospect in New Haven County, Connecticut. It is currently run by Superintendent of Schools Michael Yamin.
History
In 2014, the district rolled out plans for a three-part construction project that would take place over the following years: renovations to Laurel Ledge, a new elementary school for Prospect students, and a new district office.
At the closing of the 2014–2015 school year, construction of Prospect Elementary School was completed. Algonquin School, which previously held students grades K-3, was demolished shortly afterwards, with a new district office built on site.
Beginning with the 2016–2017 school year, the district rolled out plans for a 1:1 initiative, which allocates a Chromebook to every student at Woodland Regional High School.
