Thank you
voters!
On Tuesday, January 24, voters
approved the proposed $94.5 million construction project by a
vote of 2,712 to 1,553 (about 64 percent of voters approved the
project)."We are
thrilled and thank the community for its support," said
Superintendent Kevin Baughman. "This vote reflects Niskayuna
residents' pride in their students and schools, and the value
they place on education."
"This project will allow us to
build permanent classrooms, and make our school environments
more conducive to learning with heating, safety and technology
improvements. It will ensure the viability of our schools today
and for future generations of Niskayuna students."
"We also want to thank the many
community members, staff, parents and students who contributed
to the facilities review process," said Baughman. "Their hard
work, ideas and input are what led to today's positive result."
Work will begin immediately
with architects on the design and preparation of project
materials for submission to the New York State Education
Department. The project will be publicly bid beginning in
January 2007, and construction will begin in spring 2007. The
work will be completed in phases, with some completed in 2008,
2009 and 2010.
