On Tuesday, December 8, residents in the Saratoga Springs City School District approved The Legacy Project, a $129.7 million capital project referendum for improvements and renovations to all eight school buildings and the transportation facility, 1530 votes to 364 votes. Please note that results are unofficial until approved by the Board of Education.
The District would like to thank the community for their support of this long-term investment in our schools and facilities. “I appreciate the feedback and collaboration of District stakeholders and the community during the last four years of the legacy planning process,” said Dr. Michael Patton, Superintendent of Schools.
No Additional Taxes Will Be Levied For The Legacy Project Due to Financial Planning and Maximizing State Aid
The Legacy Project aligns with the Pathways Vision and prioritizes safety and security, educational program enhancements, and building improvements. In addition, the project will create energy and operational efficiencies throughout the District as well as protect the community’s long-term investment in our school facilities. The scope of the capital project was developed through a multi-year legacy planning process, which included input from various stakeholder groups, community summits, educational specification planning sessions, and the Legacy Referendum Advisory Committee.
