With voting for the Binghamton City School District’s capital project less than a week away, very few members of the public made an appearance at the district’s final meeting to discuss the project. Three people were in the audience Monday night for the presentation of the project, which would cost $12 million and call for improvements across the district’s ten schools. Upgrades would include new roofs, drainage systems, and updating the security systems. $11.1 million of the funding would come from the state, with the remaining $900,000 coming from Binghamton’s reserve fund, meaning there will be no effect on taxes. A public referendum vote is scheduled to be held on Monday.
