JEFFERSONVILLE — Sullivan West Central School District plans to ask voters this fall to agree to a $3,308,419 series of building improvements and repairs in Jeffersonville and Lake Huntington.

The actual vote will only poll voters on their willingness to take $2,843,752 out of the district's existing Capital Reserve Fund. The remaining $464,667 will come from the state in the form of EXCEL aid.

No tax increase accompanies the project, but plenty of work does:

• Installing a Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) Lab in both the high school and elementary school

• Building softball and baseball fields that can be combined into a soccer field at the elementary school

• Site drainage at the elementary school

• Replacing the two sets of exterior stone stairs at the 1938 building in Jeffersonville (some sections are currently closed due to deterioration)

• Replacing temperature controls at the elementary school

• Repairing sidewalks at both schools

• Restoring masonry at the elementary school

• Replacing the 1938 building's window casings, its gym windows, and its clocktower window sills and sashes

• Replacing vinyl composition tiles (VCTs) in selected high school classrooms

The choice of projects was determined by a master capital plan and a building conditions survey, said Assistant Supt. for Administrative Services Lorraine Poston.

Voters will weigh in on October 27 between noon and 9 p.m. at polling locations in Jeffersonville, Narrowsburg and Callicoon.

If they say yes, said Poston, “that still leaves about $900,000 in the Capital Reserve Fund for future projects.”
