Superintendent highlights Kidvention expo, toy‑loan pilot and upcoming park and facility events
Summary
Superintendent Castro reported on district events including the RAP Kidvention Expo, a new Toy Loan Program at Carson State Preschool, a ribbon cutting at Will Rogers Middle School and an irrigation project at Rogers Anderson Park scheduled April–July.
Superintendent Castro used the March 27 board meeting to summarize district activities and upcoming events.
Educational Services highlighted the RAP Kidvention Expo, where student finalists pitched invention projects; the district continues a partnership with SparkReach and plans to support Young Entrepreneurs National Pitch Challenge participants. The state preschool program will launch a Toy Loan Program at Carson State Preschool on April 8 to let preschoolers borrow toys for a week, the superintendent said; volunteers are being sought.
Castro also invited the board to a ribbon cutting for the new administrative building at Will Rogers Middle School scheduled for Monday (4:30–5:00 p.m.) and said irrigation work at Rogers Anderson Park will start April 7 and tentatively finish in early July; the park’s grass areas will be closed during construction but the wellness center will remain accessible. The superintendent also noted Read Across America and other site events and thanked staff for partnership work with the city’s parks and rec department.
The board also recognized Monique Benjamin for long service as Director of Budgeting and Accounting; the superintendent presented a small gift and thanked her for years of fiscal service.
Why it matters: The report highlights district enrichment programs, community partnerships and short‑term facility impacts that affect families’ access to parks and services during construction.
