propositions
Ducks on the pond
By TED REMSNYDER
With the Valley Central School District
seriously considering a second public
bond referendum vote before the end
of the year, the Board of Education has
scheduled a special work session at the
Valley Central Administration Building at
5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 25 to discuss
the details of a proposed referendum
package.
During the session, which will precede
the regular board meeting (postponed
from Monday) the administration is
expected to present the board with options
for a new referendum proposal that could
potentially include three propositions for
taxpayers to eventually cast votes.
The special session will take place one
hour before the council’s regular meeting
next Wednesday. Representatives from the
CSArch architectural firm, the company
the district hired to design the original
referendum package, will be present
at the meeting to help detail the new
proposal. On Aug. 20, residents voted
down the district’s first $22.7 million bond
referendum package by an airtight 30-vote
margin.
During the board’s Sept. 9 meeting,
Valley Central Superintendent John
Xanthis noted that the district’s working
concept for a second referendum proposal
could feature three props for voters to
decide on. The first proposition could
include safety items that the district
deems vital, including the renovation of
the High School-Middle School complex
parking lot. The second proposition would
then include additional infrastructure

excited and hopefully we’ll see something
this fall that we can present to you in
greater detail,” Liloia said.
Project developers hope to announce
the first end user this fall, Liloia said.
