The district has committed to completing the necessary accessibility upgrades at our school buildings. This outcome affirms that every student and visitor deserves a space that welcomes them without physical barriers. We will monitor the progress of these renovations to ensure the promises made are fully realized.

20 years is way too long. If health and safety are truly a top priority in CHPS then there should be no reason not to ensure our students with disabilities are equally able to safely access all facilities in our schools.
Thank you everyone! the Building and Facilities meeting is at 5pm on Monday to discuss the Beck vestibule ( that will be costing over one million dollars) and the ERI report that shows critical and dangerous violation of the law at all 19 schools that must be addressed. The district needs to follow the law and fix the violations. We will be sending this to them on Monday.
If it means having to pay a bit more in taxes, I’m willing to do so to ensure the safe access to all schools by every student. It is my hope that the Board of Education members will strongly consider my plea.
There is no excuse for not having evaluated classrooms, auditoriums and cafeterias for ADA Compliance and it is ridiculous that all 19 of the school entrances and parking lots were found not to be ADA Compliant- even those with new entrances!
I went to CHEAST from 2009-2013. I, along with a handful of other kids, had to use the elevator, as I was unable to do stairs with 1200 kids going up and down them at the same time. The elevator was from 1968, the same year the school was built and was never updated. I got stuck in the elevator 20+ times in my four years as a student there. We complained multiple time that I was missing hours of classes because I was unable to take the stairs. The school did nothing. Glad to see some action for change 7 years later!
Really?? I would hardly think that this is something that people should have to beg for in 2020
I think it’s criminal cherry hill is not making accommodations for special education.

Even in the midst of a Pandemic, promptly addressing these exterior ADA compliance issues as well as the interior ADA compliance issues that were excluded from ADA's scope of work needs to be a priority. ADA compliance is needed not only for our students, teachers, and staff, But also for their parents and family members who may only occasionally be on school property.
