BREAKING NEWS: Shortly before 11:45 a.m. today a drill rigger, working where a new science building is being constructed on the SUNY Oswego campus, tipped over. The construction site is located between Piez Hall and Snygg Hall.
When Oswego schools open in September throughout the district there will be many changes in place. Renovation and construction projects have been in the spotlight ever since the school doors closed in late June.
The number of official changes, as tracked through official construction documents known as change orders, is above 350 for the project that began last year.
A renovated wing of the building is expected to be open for business. It’s been closed since the beginning of the school year so the former open classrooms could be converted into regular classrooms and a new media center could be created.
Members of Fulton’s Board of Education voiced their frustration with the architectural firm handling their district-wide building project, while a longtime board member offered a more optimistic view.
The Fulton School District’s big construction project is making steady progress.
A new team room is nearly ready to go at the high school, while a fully renovated wing at Lanigan Elementary is on schedule to reopen after the Presidents’ Day holiday. See a gallery of pictures of the work in progress.
Superintendent Bill Lynch revealed this week that he has asked for legal opinions as members of the Board of Education expressed dissatisfaction with the cost of the mistakes and the problems those mistakes have caused.
They approved two construction propositions by votes of 211-128 and 209-130.
“Obviously, we’re very pleased with the vote,” said Superintendent of Schools Bill Lynch. “This is a great opportunity for the community and the kids to continue to modernize our facilities.”
The district is holding a vote today on two propositions.
