On November 13, 2018, district voters approved a proposed capital project. The project, designed to keep our school campus as safe, updated and conducive to learning as possible, is officially underway.
There are four major components:
-Life Safety
-ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Compliance
-Energy Savings
-Standard Replacements/Upgrades

Approximately every two weeks, the district will provide an update on work/construction.
Update #1: July 1, 2020
Installation of a new lift at Bus Garage
Excavation is underway for the Bus Garage addition which will house a new bus lift in compliance with New York State Department of Transportation standards (Photo #1).
Replacement of portions of Jr./Sr. High School roof
Scheduled to start the week of July 6 (Photo #2).
Replacement of Jr./Sr. High School boiler system
The old steam boilers at the Jr./Sr. High School have been removed. The boilers are being replaced with high efficiency hot water boilers and related unit ventilators, creating a total hot water system. The conversion will reduce energy consumption and provide for better temperature control (Photo #3).
Replacement of Jr./Sr. High School Gym air handling units
The removal of the existing air handling units in the Jr./Sr. High School Gym is in progress (Photo #4).
Replacement of Jr./Sr. High School Gym floor
The gym floor has been removed in preparation for a new floor (Photo #5).
Improved parking and handicapped parking at Jr./Sr. High School
Excavation and site prep is underway for a wider bus and parent drop-off/pick-up area at the Jr./Sr. High School adjacent to the gym entrance. The area will feature new pavement and sidewalks (Photo #6 and #7).
Replacement of portions of Jr./Sr. High School corridor ceiling and installation of new LED lighting
Work is underway to install new ceilings and LED lighting in several corridors in the Jr./Sr. High School (Photo #8).
Classroom upgrades at Jr./Sr. High School
Work is underway to upgrade several classrooms in the Jr./Sr. High School with new ceilings, lighting, vertical unit ventilators and temperature controls (Photo #9).
Additionally
-A new fire alarm system, along with additional emergency lighting units, is being installed at the Jr./Sr. High School and Primary Elementary School to satisfy the current New York State code requirements for verbal notification and proper coverage.
-As part of the capital project, several doors throughout the district – primarily classroom doors – will be replaced. The new doors, along with existing doors not chosen for replacement, will contain intruder lock function hardware, which allows a door to be locked without stepping into the hallway, or potentially into an unsafe situation. Door glazing will also be replaced with breach restraint glazing. These measures will enhance current safety and security measures already in place.
