Even with all the lights on, the cafeteria at VA feels dark and uninviting. This proposal will upgrade common spaces like cafeterias with modern lighting, flooring and fixtures.
Aspects of the Craig Elementary School gymnasium, among others in the district, have not been updated for multiple generations of students. The project will refresh dated gyms, including potential audiovisual technology.
Several pieces of playground equipment districtwide are in disrepair, as seen here at Hillside. Planned work in the 2024 capital project will address making needed repairs at all elementary school campuses.
The interior wall of the high school auditorium is showing signs of water damage. Audience members can see the impacted areas from their seats. The exterior wall panel system installed when built in the 1950s no longer performs as an effective weather barrier.
