Two of the voters were write-in votes.

Please note the district will have building level meetings this spring to go over additional details and impact on students and staff. We will continue to post updates for this project to the public as they develop.

This project has been developed in partnership with NYSERDA through the Energy Performance Contract and Clean Green programs. Its purpose is to modernize district facilities, improve energy efficiency, eliminate the district’s dependence on heating fuel oil, and ensure safe, reliable learning environments for our students and staff, while maintaining fiscal responsibility for our community.
