Rationale: Young Equipment
Term: 2022-2023 school year
Amount: $45,974.97
The Yonkers Public Schools Pathways to Success (PTS) Adult Education Program is requesting funds for the following purchases:
•Adult-sized desks (60) and adult-sized chairs (60) to be used for the day and evening adult education classes held at Enrico Fermi. The existing furniture at Enrico Fermi is child-sized and not meant for adult use. The furniture we wish to purchase will accommodate all adult body types, ensuring equitable access for all of our students.
•Lockable storage cabinets to be used for the adult education evening classes at PEARLS Hawthorne. These will replace existing cabinets which have fallen into disarray. NYSED mandates that all students records and exams be secured and locked, and these cabinets will ensure that we maintain compliance with these mandates. In addition, the cabinets will be used to store books and supplies.
•Computer/technical desks to be used for adult education classes at the Vive School. These desks allow for the storage of computer wires and cables, thus eliminating the substantial hazard of these wires running along the floor of the room.
