Educators eye Stamford campus

Greenwich educators will tour the shuttered Sacred Heart Academy in Stamford tomorrow to see whether Hamilton Avenue or Glenville school could temporarily relocate there...

...Since then, they have been trying to sell the Strawberry Hill Road property, saying they did not want to go through the trouble of leasing the school. But their real estate broker recently told Greenwich officials that leasing remains an option, officials said. The broker and educators have scheduled a tour of the building to see whether it is big enough for Hamilton Avenue or Glenville school students and staff.

Greenwich officials also said it is too early to know whether the academy is large enough for their needs or that parents and students would be accepting of the commute between western Greenwich and Stamford. Busing would be available, though the trip would be long.

"Clearly transportation is a big question mark," said Chris Winters, director of curriculum, instruction and professional learning. "Parents would have to drive the route themselves and think 'Is this something they would want?
