On this year’s ballot is a proposition to help us both modernize and maintain our athletic and community spaces. So much of what brings us together at our school is our athletic program, as we celebrate and cheer on our community’s children. Our teams routinely perform well, and our student-athletes give us much to be proud of with their sportsmanship, work in our community, and athletic prowess. Many of our athletic spaces are now in excess of twenty years old. They are in use constantly, and are in need of a refresh to keep them viable for the students yet to come. Further, those spaces that are outside are subjected to weather patterns that cause expansion and contraction, water infiltration, and now have cracks and unevenness that, if left unaddressed, will only get worse with time, and limit the usage of the spaces.
This proposed project seeks to accomplish a great deal to improve the facilities that our students and community members use. The project proposes to:
This project’s proposition is in the amount of $4,747,367. By leveraging state aid, careful management of debt service, the appropriation of $500,000 from our capital reserve fund, and a very generous pledged six-figure donation from a community member, this project will result in no additional tax levy increase for our school community. If this proposition is approved by voters in May, we anticipate being able to submit to NYS for building approval in the Fall and hopefully be able to commence work in the Summer of 2026. We appreciate your consideration in helping us continue to improve our infrastructure and learning spaces.
