Action Plan Greenwood Elementary School Greenwood Elementary School was built in 1901. Other projects are needed so that the school meets education standards in areas such as adequate classroom space including space for all-day kindergarten, wiring for computers, science labs, a library and a security system. Mary Rita Seckington, the principal at Greenwood Elementary School, notes that the building needs immediate attention in several areas. The roof at Greenwood is in poor condition and often leaks directly into classrooms.
Buckets catch the rain falling near students' desks.
She indicates that the need to replace an unsafe fire exit from the gymnasium is a priority. The building also needs to be rewired so students can have access to computers. Many walls and ceilings need extensive plaster repair as well. Seckington says more space is needed so that Greenwood can offer all-day classes for all kindergartners. Additional space is also needed for the library, which is currently in the basement of the building.
