The presentation described project priorities compiled from stakeholder meetings: upgrades to essential building systems (fire alarm, HVAC replacements and control upgrades), classroom and toilet‑room renovations, large‑group instructional spaces (cafeterias and libraries), kitchen overhauls, and adding air conditioning to prioritized spaces where equipment is aging out. Consultants said the conceptual estimate includes design contingency and escalation allowances because construction would occur several years after design.

Troy, representing the design/communications team, and Campus staff showed conceptual renderings for libraries and cafeterias, and an example scope for Jefferson Avenue’s cafetorium and kitchen. The team said user‑group meetings will refine specific equipment lists (for example, dishwashers would be included if requested during program development).

On funding, district finance staff outlined a plan intended to produce no additional tax impact: of the $73.5 million estimate, the district would use $15 million from its capital reserve and borrow the remainder (roughly $58.5 million). District staff said anticipated building aid on principal and interest, plus the scheduled drop‑off of existing debt, would offset the borrowing so that the additional local tax impact on property owners would be zero if the referendum passes. The district emphasized that voters must still authorize the borrowing and use of reserve funds; a public vote is required even when the board projects no new tax burden.

Board members asked about air‑conditioning scope. District staff said the cost to air‑condition every district space was previously estimated at about $113 million, a figure they said made full‑district AC infeasible for this referendum; the team instead prioritized large‑group instructional spaces and locations where equipment is at end‑of‑life. The consultants said the referendum plan selects spaces for AC based on program needs, aging equipment and achievable budget allocation.

The team presented a draft phased schedule that would sequence SED (New York State Education Department) submissions and project phases to maximize state aid; consultants said a referendum and subsequent design phases (schematic, design development, construction documents) are required steps before SED submission. The presenters said the district will continue a public information campaign, including outreach at parent events and building‑level tours, and that the district would refine the estimate as design proceeds.

Any referendum date would be subject to board approval; presenters discussed a fall timeline for a public vote and said further details would be provided in coming weeks.","Consultants presented the proposed scope and conceptual estimate for a $73.5 million K–8 capital project and a draft phased schedule tied to State Education Department submissions; district finance staff said use of a $15 million capital reserve and building aid would yield no additional tax impact if voters approve.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6503146,"High‑school STEM addition, track and tennis work advancing; campus team reports footing progress",460,1646000,2106000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5603733-8a96b5da5fadba55210c3d320bb417b8&start=1646&end=2106","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5603733-8a96b5da5fadba55210c3d320bb417b8/thumbnail_1646000.jpg","/articles/6503146/New-York/Highschool-STEM-addition-track-and-tennis-work-advancing-campus-team-reports-footing-progress","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503146-b2e3facf6a09967dcac2ab2793c8d1c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771092790&Signature=ooZR6rGunqZJhNYD0IAB7ucxMsUH0IIEmkZwMFFrTF8~T~YeD3D0-yAgCVsINlhm0hT568QcsfAbf65Fb1MTOViBMtddlWWH4mK-VHolQPYfiVUH5kIvyHic7TAFHf3DlEp8zgxAiE5hiNKXvE-htHhMDJFdKGf2lbB7VhIRchyRW6Tx~3iD16xu1KC2QNeaJRouMimxuHuFvAPgTavQjvx931Gh5FyafXLnMt3HtJxFvtwVETYN-w9NYexGJ3cBi7JRzGlbZH9oBce73GqwQiAEdwl5Pl6mErd11RXpmUfrCY7nbMix8t60hnppsI-SllzTHi954i5pWfe6kXojXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District construction managers told the Fairport Central School District Board on Aug. 19 that work at Fairport High School is advancing on several fronts: a STEM addition, new track and field grading, and replacement tennis courts.

Representatives from Campus and the project team provided a progress update and time‑lapse photos showing earthmoving, trench drains for the tennis courts, and early footing work for the STEAM/STEAM addition. The team said roughly 25% of footings for the new addition have been poured and that steel erection is a critical path item expected in early fall.

Brian Miller of Campus and on‑site project manager Greg McGowan described the track work in detail: contractors moved soil from the tennis court hill to fill a valley between the old and new track locations, stripped and stockpiled topsoil for later re‑spreading, and are preparing subbase material for a new parking area. Timber and stone subbase work is already in place at the tennis court site; the team said paving is approaching.

Contractors reported $89,000 in pending issues and said no change orders had been approved yet. The project maintains a construction contingency of $2,000,398 and a construction contingency/allocations process. Campus staff explained a $4,000,007.75 buy‑out savings line that the project team is using to fund selected items removed from the original project list and to keep work moving without returning to the state immediately for approvals.

The team said a 1,500 square‑foot allowance for unsuitable soils was built into the contracts; roughly 500 square feet of that allowance had been used through work on the track and building pad. Contractors said suitable soils are being retained where possible and unsuitable soils are exported. Site management staff told the board they have been watering exposed soils to reduce dust and that neighboring residents have been largely cooperative.

Administrators said ninth‑grade students are scheduled to move into the new STEM spaces for the 2026 school year, but active construction will continue through 2027. Board members were invited to a site tour planned for early to mid fall so they can view steel erection and paving milestones in person.

The construction update was part of a broader facilities report that also reviewed summer maintenance work, pool lighting replacement and an HVAC building‑management upgrade at Minerva that district staff expect to make aidable through BOCES.","District construction contractor reported progress on the high‑school STEM addition, track relocation, and tennis‑court work; contractors have poured about 25% of footings and are preparing for steel erection in early fall.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6503151,"Fairport board approves consolidation plan to merge Minerva DeLand with Fairport High School",273,3192000,3465000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5603733-8a96b5da5fadba55210c3d320bb417b8&start=3192&end=3465","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5603733-8a96b5da5fadba55210c3d320bb417b8/thumbnail_3192000.jpg","/articles/6503151/New-York/Fairport-board-approves-consolidation-plan-to-merge-Minerva-DeLand-with-Fairport-High-School","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503151-681801f92db8d76e98e4911a355d97e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771092790&Signature=QJQrk~Izn5nhCzYLXykQTmcczH8sC-ypfkvvDblfq0Vq3o8WTZZz5b5VHO5rvxagGqU4nbLbl0mKAdfGuqsZUojKK8EN6z0J0c~XwpYDSfX2L~qxwGgz040t5yFDmWj07HbZ10ytRyMTrhRfWAw4jEV1kvZzKnPHnjYOxOSkXUnXrsVKOZDF0V0giIh2YmRHnyitdYU66R1xTP4C3yQFk1Pr-83QLrPjgFBvghJHR5KY1Z0iC12IYENbRQ-vqGNUBN2DQi8tjmZ8Q1rmCL~eKn2Jv-FRTZSzVH26hdf2oe5wJmAxlMhOElyLvNrM3L9i2P2Xwb-GRbiYY7a1dzFvtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fairport Central School District Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a consolidation plan to merge Minerva DeLand School operations with Fairport High School, the board said during its Aug. 19 business meeting.

The plan, moved by Board Member Mary Caitlin and seconded by Rich, was approved by a 6-0 voice vote. Superintendent Brett Provenzano told the board the endorsement is “meaningful” as staff operationalize the plan this school year.

Board leaders said the consolidated structure is intended to coordinate secondary programming, staffing, and schedules across grades nine through 12 while the district proceeds with facility work at the high school. The board added a regular update item, colloquially called the “consolidation corner,” to future agendas to provide public status reports on hiring, student supports and operational changes.

In public discussion before the vote, district leaders described steps already taken this summer: hiring earlier than in past years to fill anticipated positions, building lead‑teacher representation from both nine‑ and 12‑grade staff, and scheduling joint faculty and department meetings to create common norms and reporting templates. Brett Provenzano and other administrators said the district will run training for lead teachers, institute a common agenda for nine‑12 departmental meetings, and provide monthly reporting to the board.

School operations staff detailed practical steps intended to reduce disruption during construction: teachers temporarily reassigned to alternate rooms, conversion of larger-than‑typical classrooms into multiple resource rooms to meet current special‑education space standards, and a move plan based on staff surveys to determine who will “pack as you go” versus those who prefer to pack before a relocation. District leaders said they have accounted for additional special‑education caseloads and plan to add related‑service and resource spaces as part of the reconfiguration.

The administration also outlined investments in staff cohesion and wellness: expanded “morning workroom” gatherings, a welcome display of staff family photos in shared spaces, and targeted onboarding to help staff from different buildings get to know each other before students arrive.

The board president called the approval a step toward implementing the consolidation pillars developed with teachers, administrators and families; the vote followed presentation of those pillars and operational plans.

The board did not take separate action on scheduling or building projects in the motion; construction and facility work were discussed in other agenda items.","The Fairport Central School District Board voted unanimously to approve a consolidation plan to merge Minerva DeLand School operations with Fairport High School and to add a standing \"consolidation corner\" to future agendas for updates and oversight.","actionData","errors"]
