Greene Central School: This school has been on the state’s project list for more than a decade but never reached the state’s funding level. The proposal is for an addition of 21,000 feet to replace leased portables with classrooms and allow space for music and art programs and computer instruction space, as well as staff and administrative areas. Renovations to wings built in 1954 and 1964 would include replacing ventilation systems, windows, heating and toilet facilities. These two wings, according to school officials, are the source of many code and air quality health issues because of their age. Renovations would be done to the library, cafeteria and gymnasium. All roofs would be replaced and insulation increased, and exterior siding would be replaced. Both parking and bus drop-offs would be improved. The purchase of land necessary for this addition was approved by voters last fall at a cost of $117,500 and is now owned by the district. Approximate cost: $4,640,000.
Tripp Middle School: At Tripp, approximately 9,000 square feet of new construction would be needed to replace portable classrooms and leased space now being used in the Leavitt Institute building. With the addition of the permanent classrooms, programs could be brought together as well as staff planning. The science room would be renovated, and some toilet and storage spaces would be improved. Approximate cost: $1,505,000.
Leeds Central School: Proposals for Leeds include expansion of the parking lot and a newly designed bus loop to eliminate congestion at the main entrance. A new “entrance only” drive for buses and cars would be built, as well as a dedicated bus-only lane designed to improve safety for student drop-off and pick-up. Approximate cost: $111,800.
Leavitt Institute: As part of a new 11-year lease agreement with the town of Turner, SAD 52 officials agreed to upgrade and repave the institute’s parking lot. This lot serves the Institute building, which houses the SAD 52 administrative offices, the town library, and, in another year, will serve the town history rooms. The parking lot also serves Turner Elementary and Tripp Middle schools. The lot would be redesigned and repaved, and more parking spaces would be added. This project would also include some changes and upgrades to the administrative offices in the building. Approximate cost: $82,600.
