A district staff member provided a summer facilities update for East Ramapo schools, saying crews repaved parking lots, added pavement markings, resurfaced gym floors and begun auditorium and cafeteria renovations across several district buildings.

The staff member said the district repaved a parking lot at Ramapo High School, restriped entrance arrows and "spray painted crosswalks in, really just to make it a safer place." They said paving work will continue "to the end of the year until every building's done."

The update included interior work. "Our Ramapo Auditorium renovation" has new LED lighting wiring in place, the staff member said, and the space will receive new flooring and other upgrades. The staff member added that gym floors were resurfaced after damage from last summer at Ramapo High School, Spring Valley High School, Pomona Middle School, Chestnut Ridge Middle School, Kakiat STEAM Academy and Hempstead Elementary School. Cafeterias at Ramapo High School, Spring Valley, Chestnut Ridge and Pomona were also repainted.

On the timeline, the staff member said graphics for cafeterias will be installed in the coming weeks and "our new cafeteria seating will be coming in around the September." The update closed with a note that crews will "be working till the very last day to make sure our buildings are top notch to welcome all of our faculty, staff, and students," and referenced a September 4 return date for the school year.

The remarks were delivered as an informational summer update; no formal motions, votes or policy changes were reported during the remarks.
