Capital Project 2022

The $68.7 million capital project will accomplish multiple objectives to meet our educational mission of preparing all students to excel in a dynamic world. Each of our buildings - Amherst Central High School, Amherst Middle School, Smallwood Drive Elementary School and Windermere Boulevard Elementary School - will benefit from this project. The project will continue to position our district as one of excellence that provides quality educational and athletic programs to students in well-maintained facilities. The project goals are:

  • Health - Safety - Welfare
  • Educational Space Improvements
  • Facilities Infrastructure Improvements
  • Site Improvements

Building Condition Survey
The District is required by the State Education Department to complete a building condition survey every five years. A survey was completed in 2022 and identified millions in infrastructure needs that should be addressed in our buildings. This bond issue addresses the highest priority items from the study. Schools are like our homes. They require regular maintenance and periodic replacements to ensure they are sound, energy efficient and safe. Even with the best of care, some systems will wear out and need periodic replacements.
