During the regular Pearl River Central School District Board meeting, there was a lot of discussion on construction projects, and the project’s financials.
Before the consent agenda, the Board recognized their Student Representative Laura Cate Lumpkin who gave her final report at the May 11th meeting. Lumpkin along with Nia English, Callie Hebert, and Hannah Mitchell were recently announced into the PRCHS HALL OF FAME.
Construction
The Central Office Renovations at Building H on the Elementary campus has begun renovations with our Maintenance team. The building will be transformed into 20 offices, storage areas, and a conference room. The ceiling grid and lighting installation began last week. The kitchen area was completed. The Board expects the building to be completed this month.
The Cheer/Dance Practice Facility: Construction is on pace to be completed by this summer. The wall mirrors were installed last week. Next up will be the flooring installation and power connections. The Board advises everyone to keep out any barricaded areas around the construction site for your safety.
