Phase IV expected to start in 2013

Planning for the next phase of the Watervliet City School District’s renovation project is well underway.

Once architects and estimators are finished narrowing the scope of the work, plans will be sent to the state Department of Education for approval. Architects told school board members and the community during the Board of Education meeting last week they expect to begin seeking bids for the project in January 2013. read more

Building Project Phase IV approved by voters

Voters in the Watervliet City School District Dec. 20 approved a proposed bond referendum 234-30.
The passage of the referendum will allow $18.9 million worth of renovations to move forward at the elementary and junior-senior high schools. The project will have no impact on the local property taxes.

Building Project History: Over the last several years, the Watervliet City School District has undertaken several construction and renovation projects. Phase I of the construction was completed in September 2007. Phase III (high school) began in January of 2009 and was completed in the fall of 2011. Phase IV is expected to get underway this year.
