Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District residents will head to the polls on Tuesday, Dec. 17, to vote on a $34.5 million capital project with no additional taxpayer increase. Polls will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at J-D High School’s main gymnasium.
If approved by voters, the capital project would:
-
- Enhance safety and security.
- Elevate athletic and physical education spaces.
- Meet elementary and UPK playground guidelines.
- Improve aging non-instructional areas, like the high school kitchen and Jamesville Elementary School main corridor.
- Alleviate parking and exterior circulation issues.
- Replace or update facility HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and infrastructure for accessibility, health, and security.
The project would be financed through a combination of retiring debt along with funds set aside in a capital reserve ($1 million). The district would receive building aid from New York state (76.3% of project expenditures) over a 15-year period, in line with debt payments.
You can learn more about the project and view the detailed scope by visiting the district’s capital project webpage.
If you have any questions about the proposed project, please contact Superintendent Peter Smith.
