Summary
The board's buildings-and-grounds report covered the Crawford’s Corner Road widening with an August 29 completion target, ongoing roof and solar-panel repairs, several facility upgrades and a community-funded playground project at Village School with more than $54,000 raised to match a grant.
The Holmdel Board of Education’s buildings and grounds update detailed multiple facility projects — including the Crawford’s Corner Road widening, roof repairs related to solar panels, unit ventilator work, ADA upgrades, and a playground renovation at Village School supported by community fundraising.
During the subcommittee report, Mr. Kim summarized ongoing infrastructure projects and told the board he expects the Crawford’s Corner Road widening to be finished by Aug. 29. Kim also said maintenance work continues on roofs and solar-panel systems and asked the community for patience while diagnostics and repairs proceed.
On the Village School playground, a speaker reported community fundraising that helped match a grant and said he had received a check “over $54,000.” The presentation noted the project may extend beyond the playground itself and could enable future expansions that improve ingress and egress near the school.
The buildings-and-grounds update also named additional planned work: an aquaponics lab renovation, unit ventilator replacements, ADA-compliance upgrades, technology enhancements and other maintenance activities ahead of the school year. The board encouraged continuing efforts to monitor student arrival and departure traffic at Village School and suggested pursuing future grant opportunities to address road access.
No formal board action or vote was recorded on these capital-maintenance items at the meeting; the report was informational and framed as preparation for the coming school year.
