Capital Project Update:
The 2023 voter-approved capital project is now underway. Southern Cayuga Schools have partnered with RSA Architects and C&S Construction Management to implement a $15.5 million capital improvement initiative.

I am pleased to report that the roofing portion of the main building is nearly complete. The sunny fall weather helped to keep things moving and four of the five roof sections are now finished. Remaining roof work will now focus on the pool and locker room areas that were damaged during a storm last winter.
Phase 2 of the capital project is currently awaiting state approval. ...
