SCHUYLERVILLE — At the December 16 Board of Education meeting, Bill McMordie from Saratoga Project Management delivered a presentation outlining the scope and vision of the Schuylerville School District’s next capital project proposal.
“The proposed project is designed to tackle items that were left out of previous initiatives and address new priorities that have emerged,” said Superintendent Dr. Ryan Sherman at the meeting. “Since the district’s last major project concluded in 2019, several areas have been identified as needing attention.”
The proposed scope of work includes improvements to site infrastructure. The phasing of work will span from the summer of 2027, through the 2027-28 school year, and into the summer of 2028.

According to the district, one of the key features of the project is its financial approach. The district is planning the timeline of the proposed capital project to align with the expiration of existing bonds. This strategy is designed to ensure that the proposed improvements can be funded with minimal or no additional tax burden on the community. Definitive cost estimates, along with the final scope and schedule of the project, will be presented at a Board of Education meeting on January 13.
