$45.5M Capital Projects Vote Proposed for Croton-Harmon Schools
October 12, 2022 Rick Pezzullo
Voters in the Croton-Harmon School District will likely be presented with a $45.5 million capital projects’ referendum in December that scool officials maintain will not raise taxes.
Plans include $17.5 million in infrastructure work, most of which is related to the age of school buildings. The remaining $28 million would be dedicated to a variety of indoor and outdoor improvements at Croton-Harmon High School, Pierre Van Cortlandt Middle School, Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School and the Spencer Field Complex.
The Croton-Harmon Board of Education is expected to authorize the Dec. 13 referendum at its Oct. 20 meeting.
“The capital project addresses our district’s continued focus on safety and security in our schools through the creation of a visitor vestibule at Croton-Harmon High School and installation of new security cameras at each of our schools,” said Assistant Superintendent for Business Denise Harrington-Cohen. “The project also furthers our commitment to health, wellness and environmental sustainability in several ways, including the introduction of new, high efficiency systems, ventilation improvements, roof replacements to allow for further installation of solar panels, and the enhancement of our infrastructure to support additional electric school buses in the future.”
A Future Facilities Planning Team, composed of faculty and staff members, students, community members, administrators and Board of Education representatives, first started grappling with capital projects needs last spring that focused on infrastructure, athletics, the arts, and teaching and learning.
