“We would have problems with leaks in certain rooms,” said Edgecomb of the 50-year-old Belle Glade school
principal of Rosenwald Elementary School in South Bay
the nearby burning sugar canes presented an issue
“When those canes are burning,” Napier said
“the critters would come towards the school

Total construction costs for Glade View is $22 million and $17.5 million for Rosenwald

We try to get 50 years out of school buildings.”
Rosenwald will be a completely enclosed school
meaning kids will no longer have to walk outside to go to class
teachers will be able to keep students inside
which should help with asthma and any other aliments,” Armbruster said
The cafeteria and media center at the updated Glade View will be in the front so parents won’t have to walk through the entire school to get to those areas
“It’s a more community friendly school,” Edgecomb said
Both principals have been working at temporary locations until their new buildings are finished
Glade View has been operating out of the old Gold Elementary School on 900 S.E
about five minutes from the old Glade View building
“I feel like we’ve been here forever,” Edgecomb said
“But we’ve made the place our own by hanging pictures of students and awards.”
Rosenwald has taken over Pioneer Park Elementary on Pioneer Park Road in Belle Glade
about four miles from the old Rosenwald school
“We were in a true community school where parents walked,” she said
“Now we’re not getting as many parents to our events because we’re in Belle Glade.”
Glade View will have a capacity for 360 students
It will also feature a dance/music studio and a larger cafeteria
The new Rosenwald will hold up to 314 students
Edgecomb and Napier can’t wait for move-in day
air conditioning and WiFi not working at their old schools
“Students need a place they can be proud of and a place where they can excel,” Edgecomb said
they see these beautiful buildings and say
Napier said she appreciated the district asking her advice on how she wanted the library designed
“The fun stuff comes when I can pick the furniture,” she said
“Going into a brand new school will encourage students to do better because they have something to be proud of
