| Middle School earns architecture award; Board hosts public hearing on proposed EXCEL and bleacher replacement project |
| January 9, 2007 Hunt Architects presented the Dansville Central School Board of Education with a recent award for the design of the Middle School facility during the Phase II capital project. As a result of earning the award, the Dansville Middle School is featured in the AS&U Magazine Architectural Portfolio. During the January 9th Board of Education meeting, Stephen Somogy of Hunt Architects, designers of the renovated middle school, presented an award plaque and copies of the magazine to Superintendent Matthew McGarrity and the Board. The building was recognized because of the care to detail honoring the building's history and creating a state-of-the-art learning center. Carefully matched brick and casework provide for a seamless transition to the additions. the publication also made mention of the glass stair tower, auditorium updates and entranceway designs. Following the presentation, the Board of Education hosted a public hearing for the upcoming public vote on the EXCEL aided capital project and the Clement's Field bleacher project. The EXCEL proposition will create a $3,325,000 project to address maintenance, health and safety, and energy improvements to the district facilities. Because of the use of EXCEL aid this project is presented to voters at no cost. A Clement's Field bleacher replacement proposal is the second proposition and will result in replacing both sets of bleachers to address accessibility and ongoing safety concerns. The proposition includes a request for voter authorization to utilize $85,000 from the capital reserve fund in order to present the project with no impact to the tax levy. Voting will take place on Tuesday, January 30th from noon to 8 pm at the North Dansville Town Hall. All district residents, 18 years and older, who have resided in the district for at least 30 days prior to the vote and are US citizens, are eligible to vote. A district-wide newsletter should arrive in homes the week of January 15th with detailed information about the two propositions. If residents have additional questions, they are encouraged to attend the January 23rd Board of Education meeting at 7 pm in the Primary School Cafeteria or to contact the District Office at 335-4000.
