Capital Improvement Project
In October 2024, the Fort Plain community approved a $10,140,000 capital improvement project to fund needed repairs and improvements at our schools and across our campus.
Providing each Fort Plain learner with the opportunities, skills and mindset to be successful now and in their future pursuits is at the heart of our mission. Ongoing maintenance and improvement of our facilities is an essential part of fulfilling that mission.
Every learner and community member or organization that uses our facilities will benefit from these improvements.
Project scope
This project contains both needed repairs to enhance the safety and usability of our facilities for all and improvements that will, most directly, impact the learning experience for students and the staff who support them.
