Mahwah secures Trees for Schools grant to plant 80 trees; buildings supervisor credited
Summary
District administrators said a two‑year effort yielded a Trees for Schools grant to plant 80 trees across the district. The board thanked Fred Romero, supervisor of buildings and grounds, for persisting to secure the grant.
Administrators told the board that a Trees for Schools grant will fund planting 80 trees in the district. The grant resulted from a two‑year effort led by Fred Romero, the district’s supervisor of buildings and grounds, who staff credited for persisting to obtain the award.
"That is a really feather in our cap especially to Fred Romero, our supervisor of buildings and grounds who persisted for 2 years to get a grant to plant 80 trees in the district," an administrator said. The transcript records staff noting new shrubbery and trees already installed in some locations.
The transcript does not list specific planting locations, species, a planting schedule, or the grant dollar value; those details were not provided in the recorded remarks and will require follow‑up with district facilities staff or the grant administrator.
