Geneseo Central School District residents voted 208 Yes to 282 No on Tuesday, January 30, to reject a $28.3 million capital project. This project, titled "Safe Campus: Enhancing Security and Enriching Student Life Capital Improvement Project," would have focused on immediate infrastructure needs and overall enhancements to our facilities.
"While the result is not what we had hoped for, we appreciate the engagement of the Geneseo community in this important decision-making process," Superintendent of Schools Cindy Flowers said.
The proposed project, which was shaped by community and staff feedback, aimed to address immediate infrastructure needs and overall enhancements to the facilities, with a particular focus on the main gymnasium. Repairs are needed to keep the space open for use without negatively impacting physical education classes and athletic programs.
The board of education and administration will soon meet to discuss next steps. “We remain committed to finding solutions to address the identified needs and continue to provide a safe and conducive learning environment for our students,” Flowers said
