Installation of a new lift at Bus Garage

The windows and garage door for the addition to the Bus Garage housing the new bus lift have been installed, and there is now electricity. Siding installation and work on the bathrooms is ongoing and nearing completion. Installation of the new bus lift, in compliance with New York State Department of Transportation standards, started during Mid-Winter Recess and is expected to be completed by the end of February. All work on the addition to the Bus Garage is expected to be completed this spring.

Replacement of portions of Jr./Sr. High School roof

All planned roof replacement is finished.

Replacement of Jr./Sr. High School boiler system

All four new high efficiency hot water boilers and related unit ventilators, creating a total hot water system, have been installed and are fully operational. The new boilers will reduce energy consumption and provide for better temperature control.

Replacement of Jr./Sr. High School Gym air handling units

All duct work is finished. New rooftop units were installed.

Replacement of Jr./Sr. High School Gym floor

The replacement of the gym floor is finished. All other work, including painting, is done as well.

Improved parking and handicapped parking at Jr./Sr. High School

Paving from the entrance of the Jr./Sr. High School to the front of the Bus Garage, along with new landscaping, is finished. Drainage and signage was also installed. Paving around the Bus Garage will be completed in the spring.

Replacement of portions of Jr./Sr. High School corridor ceiling and installation of new LED lighting

The installation of new ceiling grids and LED lighting is finished.

Classroom upgrades at Jr./Sr. High School

New ceilings, lighting and vertical unit ventilators have been installed in all designated classrooms. Temperature controls in each classroom have also been installed and are fully operational.

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. The new fire alarm system at the Primary Elementary School has been installed and activated. The new fire alarm system at the Jr./Sr. High School was installed and activated during Mid-Winter Recess.

-As part of the capital project, several doors throughout the district – primarily classroom doors – are being 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. Door installation at the Upper Elementary School is in progress and door installation at the Jr./Sr. High School began during Mid-Winter Recess. Door installation at the Primary Elementary School will begin once door installation at the Upper Elementary School and Jr./Sr. High School is finished.

-Bus Garage construction is taking place during the day. Any other remaining interior work, will continue to occur after school hours to prevent disruptions to the educational process/instruction.
