The long-awaited building of a new elementary and middle school on the site of the demolished Kenmore High School is one step closer to breaking ground after Akron City Council passed a conditional-use construction permit Monday evening. The permit is a necessity given the residential area where the new school will be built. The school will replace the current Miller South School for the Visual and Performing Arts and Pfeiffer Elementary buildings and locate them on a single campus — the project comes with a $76 million price tag.
