Valley Road Elementary School in Clark is undergoing extensive interior and exterior construction upgrades. Clark Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Edward Grande confirmed that multiple facility improvement projects are being completed concurrently before the return of students.
The facility operations cover several critical infrastructure areas. Union County Life learned that the current work includes a comprehensive roof replacement, fire alarm system upgrades, hallway floor replacement, and the installation of a new district phone system.
The most visible portion of the work is taking place behind the main school building, where construction crews are installing a brand new playground structure. Heavy excavators and utility vehicles have been active on the rear field to clear earth and grade the site for the new equipment. Passersby on Valley Road and neighborhood residents have noted increased construction traffic and material deliveries. School officials reported that the playground installation has generated notable enthusiasm among the elementary student population as completion nears.
