Cooperstown Central School approves gym project referendum

Voters in the Cooperstown Central School district approved a $2.5 million capital project referendum to make improvements to the elementary school gym, Tuesday, December 14.

The project was approved back in 2019 but was delayed because of COVID. The cost of the project increased during this time, causing superintendent Dr. Sarah Spross to bring the project up for another vote.

“Cooperstown CSD would like to thank everyone that voted on the Capital Project referendum,” Ms. Spross said. ” This proposition will allow CCSD to complete renovations to the 1954 Elementary School gym and potential reconstruction of the sidewalk between the Elementary and Junior-Senior High Schools.  Your continued support of the educational program at CCSD is greatly appreciated.”

State aid and debt service retiring would cover the expenses, according to the school district.
