Our Schools, Our Future: Capital Project - Niskayuna Central School District

Thank you for voting! Feb. 2024 capital project vote passes
Students and teachers have moved into the new 20 classroom addition at Iroquois.
Students using a breakout space in the new addition at Iroquois Middle School.
Even with all the lights on, the cafeteria at VA feels dark and uninviting. This proposal would upgrade common spaces like cafeterias with modern lighting, flooring and fixtures.
Aspects of the Craig Elementary School gymnasium, among others in the district, have not been updated for multiple generations of students. If approved, the project would refresh dated gyms, including potential audiovisual technology.
Several pieces of playground equipment districtwide are in disrepair, as seen here at Hillside. Planned work in the 2024 capital project would address making needed repairs at all elementary school campuses.
The interior wall of the high school auditorium is showing signs of water damage. Audience members can see the impacted areas from their seats. The exterior wall panel system installed when built in the 1950s no longer performs as an effective weather barrier.
Through this project, the VA plumbing system will be updated and bathrooms will be renovated with new fixtures and finishes
Sod is put down on the new baseball and softball fields. First pitches are expected spring 2024.
