Board hears $100,000 capital outlay plan to renumber doors and add signage at Eden Elementary
Summary
Board members reviewed a $100,000 capital outlay proposal to standardize room numbers and exterior door signage at Eden Elementary, a project the presenter said is reimbursable at the stated building‑aid rate and must be completed in the 2025–26 school year.
The Eden Central School District board heard a presentation on a proposed 2025–26 capital outlay project focused on door identification and classroom renumbering at Eden Elementary.
Mister Sitzman described the one‑building project as “the capital outlay project for 2526” and said “the budget for this, every year, it's a $100,000.” He told the board the work would create a repeatable room‑numbering system, install exterior door identification (ADA‑compliant signs with braille and interchangeable teacher name plates), and resolve discrepancies among systems that currently use different room numbers. He said the project is reimbursable to the district “at the building aid rate,” noting the figure stated during his presentation (about 78.8 cents on the dollar as presented).
Board members clarified that New York’s capital outlay rule requires one building per project and one contractor; the presenters confirmed the proposal covers a single building and must be completed in the 2025–26 school year. The presenter also said related work planned over spring break will address an athletic entrance (new flooring, mats to manage winter water intrusion, and replacement of faded vinyl graphics).
The board will consider including the project in the 2025–26 budget and had no immediate motion to approve funding beyond placing the item on the budget for voter consideration.
