Riverdale Public School

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING

The Riverdale Public School District will request funding for a District-wide facilities renovation program to include FUNCTIONAL, SUSTAINABLE, INFRASTRUCTURE & CLASSROOM RENOVATION PROJECTS & ADDITIONS via a Referendum Vote on MARCH 14th, 2022.

Enhanced Learning Environments

 Student & Staff Safety

Keep Up-To-Date With Operations

Educational Programs drive the need to update facilities.

The School Community believes that the students deserve facilities that support the academic, social, emotional, wellness and creative opportunities available to them.

The safety of the students and staff has always been a priority. However, now more than ever, it is crucial to ensure that our schools have all the physical systems and technologies available to protect our students & staff.

So much of what keeps the school/facilities running smoothly is the condition of the systems and infrastructure "behind the scenes". The roofing, windows, heating systems, tech network and much more are at the core of keeping a building running. Although, they go unnoticed in a day to day use, it is crucial to keep these systems in good condition. 

In spite of the 2% Tax Levy Cap, the Board of Education and Administration have successfully addressed many facilities needs within the operating budget. WE NEED TO DO MORE…

We are dealing with an aging school building with the oldest section dating back to 1930 - with some original windows, doors, and other infrastructure items that have reached the end of their life expectancy.

Attempt to secure a fair INTEREST RATE, as they are on the rise. The Referendum has been discussed for some time, however the pandemic caused great delays at the state level and caused all Referenda projects to be halted.
