Vestal CSD 2024 Capital Project Proposals
The Vestal CSD 2024 Capital Project Proposals, which total $39,435,000, include:
Installation of Full Air Conditioning System at Clayton Avenue Elementary, Vestal Hills, Elementary and Vestal High School.
This will provide an equitable classroom experience for all students, better focus for students and teachers and year-round use of spaces.
Installation of Lights on Sammon Field.
This will allow the increased use of Sammon Field, especially in the evening hours, as well as provide the HS Marching Band with a safe space to practice. As of now, they practice in the HS parking lot.
High School Auditorium Upgrades.
Once the current upgrades are completed, the anticipated work to be done includes an upgraded sound system and improved stage lighting.
Stadium Video Scoreboard.
The replacement of the stadium scoreboard with a video scoreboard will enhance video capabilities used during sporting events and special "nights', such as the Golden Circle of Bands and Cancer Awareness and Suicide Prevention Nights. The current scoreboard's controllers' connection fails intermittently. If not included in the Capital Project and the existing board fails, the replacement cost would not be eligible for state aid.
The 2024 Capital Project does not include a transportation facility proposal.
The 2024 Capital Project Hearing is on December 3, 2024, 5:00 p.m., at Clayton Avenue Elementary.
The 2024 Captial Project Vote is on December 10, 2024, Noon-8:00 p.m., at the Central Junior Building Gym.
The 2024 Capital Project Proposed Proposals Newsletter will be mailed shortly. In addition, it will be posted on the district website.

Vestal CSD to Host Town Hall Meeting to Discuss Proposed Capital Project
The Vestal School District is always pursuing excellence in the areas of teaching and learning, and we are happy to report that the school year is off to a great start!
The District is also in need of some capital work due to NYS mandates, including electrification of bus fleets and classroom temperature regulations. Thus, we are discussing a proposed Capital Project to address these issues.
There will be a Town Hall Meeting taking place in the Vestal High School Auditorium
on Monday, September 16th at 6 p.m. with both our architect and construction teams present. A presentation of the proposed projects will be shared, and then there will be an opportunity for questions.
Everyone is an important part of the Vestal community. We look forward to your valuable feedback as we continue to look toward the future.
