Congratulations to the Department of Education on the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Arthur A. Richards PreK–8 School.

“The state-of-the-art 139,000-square-foot campus can accommodate approximately 750 students. On-site water storage and solar power are among the features designed to support the school’s ability to recover and reopen following a major storm. Made possible in part through funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Arthur A. Richards PreK–8 School establishes a new benchmark for disaster-resilient, high-performance educational facilities.” Virgin Islands Department of Education by @legislatureusvi
