Presentations from our architects and construction managers have been on frequent board of education meeting agendas. Following SED approval, the project will be put out to bid with the lowest responsible bidder being authorized by the board of education to actually do the work. The opening of these bids is a significant event which impacts the amount of construction that can be done and the costs which must be covered between state and local taxpayer resources. Building principals have the details of these designs. Stop into any school and see what the future of our buildings looks like.
Principals also have the dates anticipated for the completion of each part of the project.
There is daily activity happening to move the building project forward. We welcome your questions and comments. Also thinking about the future, the Newark Board of Education will meet Saturday, October 30, to develop educational goals for the 1999-2000 school year. It is the responsibility of our seven elected board trustees to determine the priorities for our district. They then have the expectation that their goals will be met within the time frames they select.
