´ Built in 1955 and closed for students for over 30 years, the purpose is to re-establish Eugene Field as a viable school building once again. The bones of the school buildingare solid and with renovation can become a State-of-the-Art Early Learning Center in the Heart of Teaneck.

´ With the Approval of the Preschool Early Childhood Aid, we now have the opportunity to have Eugene Field yield an additional $1,400,000 in Funding and house 135 Early Learners for a 6 hours Educational Day!

Relocation of Administrative Building

Since EF will become fully housed by Pre-K in 2020 there is a need to relocate the Administrative Team.

In our research, 3 options were considered: • Purchase of buildingand land
• Renovation of EF to include an Administrative Addition
• Purchase of a Prefabricated building.

All options were Presented to the board in May 2019. It was decided by the board June 26, 2019 to go forward with the Prefabrication, the more cost efficient option.

Administration Building – At TJ

´ Objective: To construct a prefabricated, cost efficient buildingon the property of the Thomas Jefferson School.

´ A land survey was performed and the site was deemed to be environmentally acceptable to construct the prefabricated building on.
