Chatham Central referendum vote today

Nov 19, 2013 12:30 am
Voters in the Chatham Central School District go to the polls Tuesday to decide the fate of the Board of Education's capital project. The resolution to be voted on would authorize the financing required for the construction of additions and renovations to district buildings, totaling $13.8 million. The project is a key part of the district's proposed consolidation plan. Under that proposal, Chatham Middle School would be closed and consolidated with the high school, making Chatham a one-campus district. The bond will finance a build-out of Chatham High School and the Mary E. Dardess Elementary School. The work to be done would include the addition of a gymnasium, an orchestra room and fitness center, as well as classroom and cafeteria renovations. District voters will cast their ballots in the elementary school gym from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
