BCSD pursues Capital Project

The Brockport Central School District has announced plans to present a capital project to voters this fall.

After review of the 2010 Building Condition Survey, the Capital Project/Space Utilization Committee presented to the Board of Education on May 15 to recommend moving forward with a capital project. Assistant Superintendent for Business Darrin Winkley answered additional questions during the June 5 Board meeting. The district will bring a capital project resolution to the voters in September 2012, according to a press release from district representatives.

The committee comprised of staff and community members was formed in January by the Board of Education as part of Board Goal 4: Enhance Fiscal Accountability. The project would primarily address health, safety and instructional improvements to buildings, parking lots and fields. The majority of the work proposed in this bond is designed to address maintenance concerns and improve delivery of the educational program.

The last capital project for Brockport school buildings was approved in 2007.

“This project will take advantage of high NYS building aid formulas (more than 90%) and utilize remaining EXCEL funding available for districts throughout New York State, which will minimize the local impact,” said Winkley.
