Public Approves Capital Project:
Residents of the Fort Plain Central School district voted on December 18th, to approve an 11.2 million dollar capital project which will address health and safety upgrades, building and site maintenance, and improvements. Some of the needed work will include a new fire alarm system, HVAC upgrades, security updates, and the installation of an emergency generator at the Jr/Sr High School.
Building maintenance and enhancements will include roof reconstruction at both schools, outdated window replacement, masonry repairs, and floor refinishing in the Jr/Sr High School gym. Scheduled site improvements include permanent repair of the main water/sanitation line at the elementary campus, replacing pumps at the athletic complex, reconstruction of the deteriorating track surface, paving restoration and drainage reconstruction behind the transportation facility.
Project construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2020. Of the positive vote, Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Ziskin said, “The Fort Plain community has once again demonstrated its strong support for our schools, by approving the proposed Health, Safety and Infrastructure Capital Project. The project is a wise long-term investment that will maintain our school facilities in the most fiscally advantageous manner for our local taxpayers. Thank you again to the taxpayers of the Fort Plain CSD, for your continued support of the children of Fort Plain and their schools.”
Student Council Organizes Troop Drive:
Members of the Jr/Sr High School recently collected items for military men and women stationed at Al Asad Airbase in western Iraq. The student council was contacted by SSgt. Samuel Hoffman, a member of the Fort Plain High School class of 2012. SSgt. Hoffman is a member of the Combat Christmas Party Committee, which was tasked with putting together a celebration for the 1st Expeditionary Rescue Group. The Student Council immediately began collecting donations of food and comfort items, putting together eight full boxes of items and sending them by mail to reach the airbase in time for the holidays. The student council thanks everyone who contributed toward making the holidays a bit brighter for the many soldiers stationed so far from home.
Capital Project Vote Passed
Fort Plain voters passed a proposed capital project on Tuesday by a margin of 83 yes votes to 15 no votes.
“The Fort Plain Community has once again demonstrated its strong support for our schools by approving the proposed Health, Safety, and Infrastructure Capital Project,” said District Superintendent David Ziskin. “The project is a wise long-term investment that will maintain our school facilities in the most fiscally advantageous manner for our local taxpayers. Thank you again to the taxpayers of the Fort Plain CSD for your continued support of the children of Fort Plain and their schools.“
The $11,200,000 project will improve facilities at both the Jr./Sr. High School and Elementary school, and the district hopes to have the project completed by December 2021.

Fort Plain Seniors Accompany Santa at Harry Hoag
On Tuesday, December 18, Mrs. Trembley’s English 12 R class traveled with Santa to visit the Kindergarten classes at Harry Hoag.
The Kindergarten students wrote letters to Santa, and the seniors helped Santa write responses, created goody bags, ornaments, and treats for the classes.
Dressed as elves, the seniors accompanied Santa to the classes where students visited with Santa, got their letters and a treat, had their picture taken, received their picture ornaments, listened to a story, and had treats made by the class. This visit was a gratifying experience for all of the students.

Fort Plain High School Technology Students Visit Hudson Valley Community College
On Monday, November 26, Fort Plain high school technology students visited Hudson Valley Community College and got a taste of the Automotive Technology, Manufacturing Technology, and Electrical Technology programs.
The trip exposed students to options of Technical Degrees once they graduate. The students were able to see the three programs in the process as current students were working on projects in class.
Students were excited to see that there is an opportunity for higher education in the Automotive field somewhat close to home.
