Construction and District Reconfiguration
On September 30, 2003, residents of Ramsey passed a referendum providing for the construction of a new Dater School, the construction of a new, six-lane track at the High School, and the renovation of the High School, Smith School, and Hubbard School. Because much more construction had to still be finished (or even started), the 2006-2007 school year has begun on September 18, 2006.
- Ramsey High School's Track is now a six-lane, all-weather track and was completed in Fall/Winter 2004 after delays.
- Ramsey High School will be renovating and adding classrooms. Construction was supposed to take place over the 2005-2006 school year and to be completed around July 2006, but this work was pushed back a year and is now expected to begin at the end of the 2005-2006 school year.
- Eric S. Smith Middle School is reconfiguring and expanding its media center, cafeteria, and gymnasium, and creating new classrooms.
- Mary A. Hubbard School will be converted into a building suitable for grades K-3, which actually is a partial return to its roots as a K-5 school. Some new rooms will be built, and others will be renovated.
- The Wesley D. Tisdale School is not included in any construction or renovation projects.

Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or district:
“When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
