The Wayne Central School District is proposing a Facilities Preservation Project to address maintenance needs and safety issues across the district's schools. If approved, the $14.8 million project would be funded through New York state aid, EXCEL money, and the district's capital reserve fund, requiring no tax increase. Updates would include roof, window, and pavement replacements, security and lighting improvements, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and mechanical system repairs. Community input is being sought through building tours and meetings in November. Voting on the proposal will take place on December 14, 2011.
