Board approved emergency repairs after auditorium ceiling collapse

Facilities

What happened

The board declared an emergency and authorized repairs at Peekskill Middle School after water from the kitchen above damaged the auditorium ceiling.

Why it matters to families

The work concerns spaces used by middle-school students and staff. The latest completion status has not yet been established.

The evidence

The May 19 minutes place the ceiling collapse on or about December 18, 2025, and record a 7–0 consent vote. A December 16, 2025 transfer request already describes kitchen-floor and auditorium-ceiling repairs, leaving the sequence unresolved.
