reflect what faculty have asked for, from AI-assisted assessment to inclusive PBL. The district also invests in leadership at every level, elevating teacher talent by turning expertise into shared practice.“One of the biggest SEL supports for adults is letting them showcase what they’re great at,” Vilcean says. “It builds pride, spreads skill, and improves culture.” CAPITAL INVESTMENT WITH AN EYE ON EQUITY AND EFFICIENCY Behind the academic work is a deliberate push to modernize a set of facilities that have carried Roselle for decades. In the last two years, the district completed multi-million-dollar HVAC upgrades at the high school, junior high, and an elementary school, replaced roofs across multiple buildings, and is staging a window modernization program. Sewer systems—often invisible until they fail—are being evaluated and replaced in phases. Retrofitting has become a Roselle hallmark: esports rooms, podcast studios, fitness spaces for scholarathletes, and media labs have been carved out of existing real estate to meet modern needs without waiting for a new building. 314 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 12
