| Abstract: | The article focuses on the appointment of Celeste Ramirez as president of the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA), the agency responsible for designing, building, and renovating public schools across the city's five boroughs. Ramirez succeeds Nina Kubota and brings extensive experience, including previous roles at the SCA and founding a Bronx-based construction management firm specializing in educational facilities. Her leadership is expected to support the city’s goals of reducing class sizes, modernizing school infrastructure, and integrating public school projects with broader community initiatives such as affordable housing. Ramirez’s background as an immigrant student informs her vision of schools as vital community centers. Established in 1988, the SCA has delivered over 300,000 new school seats and managed more than 12,500 capital projects. [Extracted from the article] |
