BATAVIA, NY—This is notice that the Batavia City School District Capital Improvement Project proposition has been voted on, and the unofficial results are as follows:

“Thank you to the Batavia community for your steadfast support in passing our BCSD Reimagined Capital Improvement Project,” said Superintendent Jason Smith. “With this initiative, we will address essential infrastructure needs across all of our buildings. These funds will also help us convert Robert Morris into a modern early childhood education center and enhance our athletic fields for year-round use. Your vote reflects a deep commitment to our students and schools’ ongoing improvement and future success.”

The BCSD Reimagined Project’s next phase will include engaging in the contractor bid process over the next 12 months, and the district expects the first phase of construction to begin in the spring of 2025. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of the 2027 calendar year. BCSD will provide additional updates and project details to the Batavia community as they become available. 

“We are profoundly grateful to the Batavia community for their support, to our Batavia City School District leadership for their visionary guidance in spearheading this important project, and to our collaborative construction partners and Buildings and Grounds Committee, who played an integral role in its conception,” said Board of Education President John Marucci. “It’s a remarkable achievement to bring this project to fruition with a zero percent tax increase, reflecting our shared commitment to fiscal responsibility and educational excellence. This collective support and collaboration are invaluable in shaping a brighter future for the Batavia City School District students.”
