Jamestown High School could be getting a major facelift in the coming years.
District voters are likely to have a referendum on the May 18 school budget ballot for an $86,200,000 million capital project that involves the high school, Persell Middle School, Ring Elementary School, Fletcher Elementary School, the district bus garage, Raymond Fashano Tech Academy and districtwide information technology upgrades.
“The goal is to make sure our students are warm, safe and dry so that they can learn and we can provide the best program for them as possible,” said Dr. Kevin Whitaker, Jamestown Public Schools superintendent.
While specifics are still being determined, preliminary documents reviewed by the Board of Education on Tuesday have more than half ($44,736,000) of the overall proposed project being spent at JHS. Board members have between now and the end of March to make a final decision on the scope of the project.
