Voters of the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District approved a $5.142 million capital project, which is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026, with 295 in favor and 87 opposed – a margin of 77%.
The $5.142 capital project, which will replace the roofs on both the elementary and secondary school buildings, will receive over 79% in building aid, helping to alleviate the financial impact on the community. Completion of the capital project is expected to occur in September 2026.
A simple majority (50% plus one) was required for the capital project to pass.
“We appreciate our community for supporting this capital project and the impact it will have on generations of students moving forward,” said Superintendent of Schools Bonnie Kane. “Our community continues to support the work being done to enhance our campus, and allows us to protect our learning resources for the future. We thank them for their continued support.”
