Hyde Park charter school wants to add addition to new building it just finished

Boston Preparatory Charter Public School, which recently finished its new school on River Street, across from the PriceRite, has filed plans with the BPDA for an addition to handle the 300 new students the state decided in January to let it add.

The school, long based in the old Most Precious Blood school in Cleary Square, is seeking permission to add a three-story, 32,000-square-foot addition to its new 49,800-square-foot building at 885 River St.

The school hopes to begin construction on the new wing, which does not require any zoning-board approval, this summer, with completion before the start of school in 2018.
