Massena school district eyeing up to $100,000 in central office upgrades

MASSENA -- If approved by voters next month, the 2017-18 Massena school budget will pay for upgrades at the district’s central office building.

The budget includes up to $100,000 for capital outlay projects, which up to that amount do not require voter approval after the budget passes.

Superintendent Pat Brady said the aim is to “accomplish work, repairs, renovations that are necessary and can’t generally wait until we get to a larger capital project.”

“We have particularly some electrical issues there where the transformer is not big enough for the electrical load that goes to the print shop, maintenance bays,” Brady said. “We’d like to move the records room from where it is now to the main hall.

“It’s a better space. It’s also where the human resource person is.

He said the state Department of Education has agreed to aid the project since part of to will include repairing a boiler that impacts high school students. The reimbursement would come in next year.

Brady said he plans to ask the Board of Education to vote on the project in June.
