Come Learn About the Proposed Capital Project | Thursday October 15th from 6:00pm-7:30pm in the HS LGI
Posted Date: 10/14/26 (08:47 AM)
Capital projects are critical for school districts because they directly impact student achievement, ensure learner safety, and protect the community's long-term financial investment. On Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 6:00pm in the High School LGI, the district will be holding its first informational night regarding our upcoming projects.
The first project will be completed in two phases and includes roof repair, PA systems, elementary “fix it” items identified in our building conditions survey, the HS natatorium and our server room. This project is planned to be broken into two phases and will be the highlight of this informational session. It is important for you to understand what is being proposed as this portion will go to a community vote in December 2026.
Our second project is the renovation of the HS auditorium. This will also be discussed; however, a second informational meeting will be held with this project being the distinct focus as renderings are still in development. This project will go to community vote in May 2027.
Included in Thursday’s meeting will be staff from our architectural firm, our financial company and district administrators. The goal is for you to be able to see the future of the Newark Central School District and ask any questions you may have.
Lastly, attending a school district capital project meeting is a powerful opportunity for community members to directly shape the future of their local schools and neighborhood. By participating, taxpayers can ensure their hard-earned dollars are invested wisely in projects that maximize student safety, modernize learning environments, and protect local property values. Ultimately, strong community attendance fosters the transparency and collaboration needed to build a safer, more prosperous future for students and residents alike. We hope to see you there!
