  1. Elmwood Park Public Schools Facilities Upgrade and Construction Project 2012 Presentation October 16, 2012

  2. DECEMBER 2011 REFERENDUM DEFEATED 3 to 1

  3. WE LISTENED!

  4. Our Students Deserve More • Initial Referendum project in 2003 was reduced significantly and excluded many deteriorating areas such as roofing; pointing; HS gymnasium areas • Roof and window “leaks” have created extenuating damage at facilities, especially Gilbert Avenue School • HS gymnasium can no longer continue to be repaired (major roof leaks; flooring; lighting; ventilation) • HVAC systems at schools for proper air/heating must be renovated

  5. Projected population growth (especially from the new project on the Riverfront) will increase the need for classroom space, especially at the elementary level. BOE offices were initially established for kindergarten/pre-kindergarten areas. • Projected growth of special needs students and the tuition associated with these students will be exorbitant. These children deserve the least restrictive environment. • Fields are sloping due to weathering and poor drainage • Track is unusable. • Fieldhouse Facilities (e.g. Snack Hut; Bathrooms) are deplorable.
