FINISHED WHEN CLASSES BEGIN

NEXT WEEK.

CBS 2'S BRIAN CONYBEARE HAS

THE STORY.

Reporter: CONSTRUCTION

CREWS ARE RUSHING TO COMPLETE

MAJOR PROJECTS AT NEW ROCHELLE

HIGH SCHOOL INCLUDING A NEW

MAIN ENTRANCE AND PARKING

LOTS.

BUT SOME STUDENTS AND PARENTS

ARE WORRIED THE BEGINNING OF

THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE

DISRUPTED.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND FIRST

WEEK.

IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A

LITTLE CHAOTIC.

I DON'T THINK THEY ARE

GOING TO GET IT DONE.

BUT HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BE DONE

SOON AFTER.

Reporter: THE DISTRICT IS

IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR-YEAR,

$106 MILLION PROGRAM TO

UPGRADE ALL ITS SCHOOLS.

IT'S A COLOSSAL EFFORT.

Reporter: SCHOOL LEADERS

GAVE CBS 2 A TOUR INSIDE,

WHERE MAJOR RENOVATIONS ARE

UNDER WAY, TOO, INCLUDING

NEW CEILINGS IN CLASSROOMS AND

REFINISHED FLOORS IN EIGHT

GYMS DISTRICTWIDE.

AS YOU CAN SEE THE KITCHEN

HERE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL IS A

WORK IN PROGRESS.

BUT THEY SAY THEY WILL BE

READY TO FEED 3,000 STUDENTS

ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

NEXT WEEK.

CREWS ARE WORKING VIRTUALLY

AROUND THE CLOCK TO MAKE IT

HAPPEN BY WEDNESDAY.

IT WILL ABSOLUTELY BE READY

FOR OPENING OF SCHOOL.

Reporter: THERE ARE NEW

PLAYGROUNDS AT ELEMENTARY

SCHOOLS, A NEW ENTRY PLAZA AT

THE ISAAC YOUNG MIDDLE SCHOOL

AND THE HIGH SCHOOL IS GETTING

ITS HISTORIC SLATE ROOF

REPAIRED.

OFFICIALS STRESS SAFETY IS

THEIR TOP PRIORITY NEXT WEEK.

WE WILL BE OPEN.

WE WILL BE SAFE.

UM, WE HAVE ALL OUR SYSTEMS IN

PLACE.

Reporter: THIS CONSTRUCTION

REPORT SHOWS SOME PROJECTS

HAVE BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL NEXT

SUMMER INCLUDING SYNTHETIC

TURF FIELDS AT THE HIGH

SCHOOL, PARKING LOT, GAS LINE

AND TRACK.

BUT THIS STUDENT'S MOM DOESN'T

MIND THE DELAYS.

WE HAVE TO LOOK ON THE

BRIGHT SIDE WHAT THE FUTURE IS

GOING TO HOLD AND THE

IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BE MADE

WILL ONLY BE A GOOD THING.

Reporter: ONCE ALL THE WORK

IS DONE.
