WCS school renovations move forward By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
WARRENSBURG | The intermediate phase of Warrensburg Central School District’s multi-year, $11 million facilities renovation project is set to be accomplished by mid-September. The entire project calls for upgrades to both the elementary and high schools including replacement or major repair of plumbing, electrical, and security infrastructure as well as heating and air conditioning systems — and new energy efficient windows. The work is to be funded 80.4 percent by state education aid, with the local share being drawn from the district’s existing financial reserves. In the weeks before school opened for the 2019-2020 year, dozens of construction workers were busy primarily at the high school on the upgrades including finishing the relocated cafeteria.
