River Vale School Board Discusses Sidewalk Grant and Building Renovations
- Meeting Overview:
During the recent River Vale School Board meeting, the most development was the announcement of a new township grant aimed at improving sidewalks from Forest Salotti to Woodside. This project, set to begin in the summer, addresses water drainage issues that have created gullies, particularly near Woodside. The township civil engineer consulted with the school board to ensure the improvements would benefit the community, with particular focus on student safety.
In addition to the sidewalk improvements, discussions about upcoming school infrastructure projects took place. Preliminary meetings with architects have been initiated for renovations to the school buildings, with work also expected to start in the summer. This foresight is part of the board’s strategy to enhance the educational environment and accommodate future needs.
The superintendent provided an overview of the board’s progress on educational and wellness goals for the 2024-2025 school year. These goals focus on creating a dynamic and inclusive learning environment, revising curricula to align with state standards, and modernizing communication strategies. A detailed progress report is anticipated in January.
The meeting also covered routine resolutions, with the board approving several business and personnel measures. Among these was the hiring of a new physical education teacher for Woodside School, set to start in February, which was met with enthusiasm.
