Otselic Valley residents vote on building project today
OTSELIC VALLEY – Otselic Valley Central School District voters will weigh in today on a proposed $17 million building project that would affect both the Georgetown and South Otselic communities.
Polls will open at noon today and run until 9 p.m. at both the OV Elementary School, Georgetown, and the OV Junior-Senior High School, South Otselic, according to Superintendent Richard Hughes. School officials have called the project – which includes the expansion of the high school to accommodate grades K-12 and the conversion of the elementary school to a transportation and community center – a possible solution to the district’s budget woes.
Hughes has stated the project will help “the state, the district and the local taxpayer” and will “actually save the district money in the long run,” helping to mitigate continuing decreases in state aid, as well as increases to retirement and health insurance.
The project would include the addition of a K-2 wing at the high school, an overbuild which would add classrooms and renovations to a large portion of the school. Elementary students would have their own cafeteria and a new K-12 library and fitness room would also be added. The current elementary school would be redesigned into a transportation facility, while the historic portion of the building would be converted into a community center.
If approved by voters, the building project would break ground sometime in the spring of 2013, according to Hughes.
