Brockport Central School District will proceed with plans to present a capital project to voters this March.
Following an extensive review of the 2015 Building Condition Survey, district staff in collaboration with design professionals presented to the Board of Education on January 17 a recommendation to move forward with a capital project. The presenters outlined the goals and scope of the project, then answered additional questions. The Board of Education resolved to bring the capital project to voters on March 15.
The proposed capital project focuses primarily on safety and security, including the addition of secure vestibules and main entryway renovations in each school, as well as items identified in the 2015 Building Condition Survey and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) energy study.
The proposed project will reduce energy usage and enhance educational and community use of district facilities through improvements to buildings, parking lots and athletic spaces (stadium field and tennis courts).
Assistant Superintendent for Business Darrin Winkley said, “This proposed capital project will take advantage of high NYS building aid formulas (an estimated 86.3 percent) and utilize the capital reserve fund to allow completion with no additional taxes.”
The last Brockport Central School District capital project was approved in 2012.
