Germantown district approves building project

Jun 12, 2015 6:47 am
The Columbia Paper is reporting voters in the Germantown Central School District approved two propositions totaling $11.38 million in a special district-wide referendum, Thu., Jun. 11. The district can now make repairs and upgrades to the school building, and construct an auditorium. The first proposition, totaling $5.9 million, covered 28 items for repairs and updates, including a connection to the town sewer system, improved ventilation and air quality for the second floor of the school building and renovation of the baseball and softball fields. The second proposition, totaling $4.3 million, will fund an addition on the east side of the school with a secure entrance, band room, theater arts classroom, auditorium, rest rooms and lobby. The school board put a single proposition that combined the key elements of both projects before voters in March. That measure failed to pass. Read the full story in the Columbia Paper.
