THURSDAY, JULY 30, 2020 ESSEXNEWSDAILY.COM VOL. 89 NO. 29 — $1.00 BLM rallies WOSD drafts plan for return to school By Amanda Valentovic continue Staff Writer The West Orange Board of Education discussed the path back to reopening schools in the fall at its July 20 meeting. The health and safety of students and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic is the top priority, and the school population will not all return to in-person instruction at the same time. The plan discussed at the meeting was a draft, leaving open the possibility of changes before September. In a presentation at the meeting, the plan specified that stu- dents who are most in need of in-person learning will be priori- tized; that group includes students with disabilities, English lan- guage learners, homeless youth and low-income students.

And back in 2004, we brought lawn bowling back to Essex County by creating one of the first artificial surface greens in the region. It feels good that we are able to continue to maintain and improve upon our facilities so the public can continue to enjoy the outdoors.” “These are both tremendous projects that will greatly benefit the community. On behalf of the freeholder board, we are proud to have partnered with the county executive on these continued enhancements,” Freeholder President Brendan Gill said.

The synthetic grass playing surfaces at both the lacrosse and soccer field and lawn bowling green needed to be replaced because of regular wear and tear. The soccer and lacrosse field is located off Bloomfield Avenue and was first opened in 2010. Located off Glenwood Avenue, the lawn bowling green’s synthetic grass surface was initially installed in 2004. The improvements to the soccer and lacrosse field and lawn bowling green were designed in house by the Essex County Department of Public Works, which also monitored the project to ensure delays were avoided. A publicly bid contract for $808,550 was awarded to Applied Landscape Technologies from Montville to perform the construction work. The improvements were funded through the Depart- ment of Parks budget and a grant from the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund. The project was started in March and was completed in three months.
